"Any validation you’re seeking from others is simply validation you’re seeking from yourself."

.

Welcome back, loves! The catalyst for today's episode was actually due to a lovely listener's request! We speak about the harsh truth of external validation in many different manifestations; with romantic partners, parents, friends, success, performance etc. It is a slippery slope because the things that make you feel validated externally are almost always fleeting which leaves you with an unstable state of mind. In this episode we speak how important it is to give yourself any validation that you're craving to receive from others. I love you guys, enjoy! And happy August!!!!
