Description

Hands up if you secretly love being praised… 🙋‍♀️
In this episode, I unpack why wanting validation isn’t a flaw, it’s biology. Humans are wired for connection, safety and belonging, and praise can feel regulating to the nervous system.

We explore the key difference between enjoying praise and needing it, through a nervous system lens. When does validation become a bonus… and when does it turn into the source of your self worth?

You’ll learn:

• Why praise can create a sense of safety in the body
• The signs of a healthy vs unhealthy relationship with validation
• How people pleasing, overworking and performing link back to approval
• How to build internal safety so praise is a bonus not a requirement 

Reflective questions woven throughout, including:

• “Who are you when no one is clapping?”
• “What does your body believe would happen if praise disappeared?”

You don’t need to stop enjoying validation, you just don’t need to rely on it.

🎧 A nervous-system-led conversation about worth, safety, and building safety within yourself.
