Ep. 5 | Breaking Free: Stop Seeking Approval and Start Trusting Yourself
Manage episode 481149707 series 3659377
In this deeply reflective episode, we explore the complex psychology behind validation-seeking behavior and why it's become so prevalent in our digital age. Through relatable examples, I illustrate how social media has intensified our dependence on external validation as well as how we often cling to relationships for the small dopamine hit of self-worth.
The most empowering concept discussed is what I call the "internal confetti celebration"— developing the ability to fully acknowledge and celebrate your achievements even when no one else does.
