483: How to Stop Seeking Approval from Others
If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering, “Am I good enough? Lovable enough? Worthy enough?”... this episode is for you. Today, I’m diving into the powerful difference between external and internal validation, and how learning to validate yourself is the key to breaking free from codependency, people-pleasing, and enmeshment. When we rely on others to tell us who we are, we lose touch with our true selves. But when we start building that validation from within, everything changes: our confidence, our sense of worth, and the way we move through the world. In this episode, I share: How codependency develops when we seek our worth outside of ourselves Simple ways to practice self-validation every day Why internal validation becomes even more essential as we age How celebrating your small wins rewires your brain and boosts self-worth This episode is all about bringing it home. Finding your value from within and learning to celebrate the beautifully unique human you already are. ✨ Ready to deepen your connection with yourself?
