In this episode, I’m getting real about something we all struggle with—seeking validation from others instead of trusting ourselves. If you’ve ever caught yourself obsessing over likes, needing approval to feel worthy, or bending over backward to make everyone happy, this one's for you.

I’ll break down the sneaky signs that you might be relying too much on outside validation, how it messes with your confidence, and what to do to start feeling solid in who you are—without needing a gold star from anyone else.

It’s time to stop waiting for permission to feel good about yourself. Let’s talk about how to shift the focus inward and start owning your worth.
