In this episode, I sit down with Brodi Tomicic, founder of Vivir Community and host of the Live it Be it Podcast. Brodi and discuss the difference between validation and connection, why we feel such a desperate need for validation, and how connection brings a more authentic sense of validation when we no longer feel a need to prove ourselves to others or perform as a character to please them. We also discuss how this principle relates to dating and every other meaningful connection.
