120. Validation Addiction: Why Smart People Can't Stop Seeking Approval
Ever catch yourself crafting the "perfect" text message for 15 minutes? Or lying awake at night replaying that "awkward" comment you made in a meeting three weeks ago? (No judgment - we've all been there!)
In this episode, we're diving deep into why we're all so hooked on seeking validation, and more importantly, how to break free from this exhausting cycle. Because let's face it - being your own worst critic is a full-time job none of us applied for.
What you'll discover:
The surprising reason your brain is actually being "logical" when it spirals into approval-seeking mode
Why that constant need for validation might not be what you think it is (this was a game-changer!)
A simple 10-second practice that can stop an overthinking spiral in its tracks
Plus, you'll learn a mind-blowing reframe about self-trust that will change how you view every decision you make moving forward.
Ready to break free from the validation hamster wheel? Listen now and discover how to trust yourself without having to pretend you're immune to human emotions.
