The Work
Not Enough Syndrome™ isn’t weakness. It’s universal.
We all know the loop: I’m not good enough. Not smart enough. Not successful enough. Not [fill-in-the-blank] enough.
Those stories don’t mean there is anything wrong with us. They’re part of a coded system I call the Not Enough Archetypes™. Each archetype carries shadow patterns that keep you stuck and hidden strengths that, when tapped, become your real power.
The work is simple: decode the archetype, unstory the narrative, harness the gifts.
Not Enough Archetypes™ = Codes of Brilliance
Which Not Enough Archetype™ shadow hides genius ?
The voice that says you’re not good enough, smart enough, or [fill-in-the-blank] enough? That’s a Not Enough Archetype™ at work.
Each Not Enough Archetype™ has shadows with survival intelligence that can drained your energy, and hidden powers, and gifts waiting to be harnessed.
Take this revealing quiz to uncover:

I'm Ebi Lewis, the Not Enough™ Syndrome Specialist
I’ve dedicated my work to understanding why accomplished people still struggle with persistent narratives of inadequacy.
What I discovered? You can’t be free from a story if you’re still in it.
Most approaches try to rewrite your story, build confidence, or “fix your mindset.” They might shift things for a while, but the loop always returns.
This work is different.
This is narrative liberation. Using the deep architecture of my proven Coded Stories Method®, we step out of the loop and become Unstoried® from specific not enough stories.
Do You Recognise These Not Enough Syndrome™ Patterns?
Constantly proving yourself
The exhausting need to earn acceptance, love, or approval through endless doing. And no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.
→ Survival intelligence: proving was once how you stayed safe and valued.
Overthinking every decision
Lying awake replaying conversations, thinking “Should I have said that?” Second-guessing your actions or quietly doubting yourself.
→ Survival intelligence: overthinking is how you learned to stay prepared and avoid mistakes.
People-pleasing at your own expense
Saying yes when your body screams no, terrified of disappointing anyone but yourself.
→ Survival intelligence: people-pleasing once kept you connected and safe.
Perfectionism that never feels enough
Moving the goalposts every time you achieve something, because "it wasn't that good" or “What if they don’t like it?”
→ Survival intelligence: perfectionism was designed to protect you from rejection.
Imposter syndrome despite accomplishments
Waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder and say "We made a mistake" or afraid of “being found out.
→ Survival intelligence: imposter thoughts kept you alert, humble, always improving.
Seeking external validation constantly
Checking your phone for likes, refreshing emails for praise, needing others to confirm your worth.
→ Survival intelligence: validation-seeking once kept you included and belonging.
You're Not Alone in This
If you see yourself in these patterns, take a breath. You’re not flawed and you’re definitely not alone.
‘Not Enough’ Syndrome™ isn’t a personal failing. It’s a universal condition in our collective consciousness. That voice telling you you’re not smart enough, not successful enough, not enough to deserve the life you want is so common it’s universal.
Maybe you’ve tried therapy, read self-help books, or done mindset work. They might help for a while, but the nagging feeling always returns. The exhaustion of proving your worth. The loneliness of thinking you’re the only one struggling while everyone else seems to have it figured out.
‘Not enough’ is not a personal failing. It’s a shared human experience that has shaped how we see ourselves and move through the world. But the other side of not enough is that it’s your superpower and an invitation to your greatness. Not enough is actually a very GOOD thing.

How it Works
Working from the core code outward through each layer to narrative liberation.
The Coded Stories Method® works from the core code and guides you to become Unstoried® from any Not Enough Syndrome™ story.
This is narrative liberation at the root level of any story. It is architectural transformation that releases self-doubt, shame, and downplaying or downgrading your potential and strengths, so we can live Unstoried®.

What Clients Say About Becoming Unstoried®
I spent years in therapy trying to fix myself. Ebi helped me see there was never anything wrong with me. I’d just been caught up in old stories. Letting them go was such a relief. Honestly, there’s no way to explain what it’s like to be free of something that’s been in your head for so long. I’m just so grateful for Ebi
Jennifer R., Entrepreneur
Ebi Lewis is a very kind, warm, skillful and perceptive coach. I found her to be wonderful at holding space for me as I grappled with upsetting issues in my life. She was able to help me get clarity, give insightful support and also hold me accountable. I recommend Ebi Lewis very highly as a coach!
Jessica F. Jones – Mt. Pleasant, SC. USA
I’d never even heard of Not Enough Syndrome until Ebi mentioned it and suddenly so much clicked. I realised it was chipping away at my confidence and making me apologise for everything. Honestly, I just thought it was me being a polite Brit! Working with her has completely changed the way I think about myself.
Sarah M. Marketing Executive
For the first time in my life, I actually feel good about who I am and what I’ve achieved. The story that I could never measure up to my high-achieving siblings has gone. I’ve stopped proving myself. Ebi’s way of working is unlike anything else I’ve ever tried. Thanks Ebi.
