Notes on Enough is a bi-monthly exploration of our complicated relationship with abundance, sufficiency, and the spaces between. Through this newsletter, Georgia Lee Hussey examines how our personal narratives around wealth intersect with larger societal structures, inviting readers to reconsider what truly constitutes "enough" in a world fixated on "more." Each edition weaves together cultural observations, policy implications, and philosophical inquiries that challenge conventional wisdom about resources—both personal and collective. Join this ongoing conversation about reimagining our relationship with abundance as we work toward a more equitable distribution of not just capital, but opportunity, voice, and power.
