You'll want to listen to this episode if:

• you've ever used people-pleasing to cope/numb
• you're a chronic approval seeker
• you've ever felt like your own wants/desires aren't good enough or valid unless their okay with others or benefit someone else
•  you sometimes struggle knowing what you want/need/desire without checking with someone else in your life
• you've lost your sense of autonomy/authority with your life and you'd like to take it back
• your intuition is lost or quiet, and you'd like to help it grow

Chris and Debbie talk about the dynamics of approval-seeking/seeking permission and why they've found it important to release it for their own personal growth. They walk through how it showed up in their daily lives, with their differing personalities, and how it contributed to their codependency. They also walk the listener through an exercise to help access their intuition in what is in alignment with their personal truth, enabling one to step toward it without the permission or approval of others.

We think you'll find this episode particularly helpful in your own personal growth. If so, please remember to follow, rate, and review the show!
