Letting go of the need for external validation is one of the most freeing things we can do for ourselves. In this episode, we’re diving into why approval-seeking keeps us stuck and how to shift into unshakable self-trust instead.
✨From an early age, most of us learn that love and belonging feel conditional.
✨ Society and social media feed us impossible standards, keeping us in a cycle of seeking approval.
✨ When we rely on validation from others, we give away our power—and our freedom.
✨ I’m sharing a personal story about resigning from a 24-year job to live with greater integrity.
✨ There’s a big difference between healthy feedback and approval-seeking—let’s break it down.
✨ Building self-trust starts with knowing your values and priorities.
✨ What if you started asking, Do I approve? instead of Will they approve?
✨ Every time you take a small, bold step that honors your truth, you strengthen your trust in yourself.
✨ The reality? Not everyone will approve—and that’s completely okay.
This week, pay attention to where fear of judgment is holding you back. Just once, choose to act from your own truth instead. What if the freedom I truly seek is simply the freedom to be myself?
