Have you ever just wanted someone to say, “Yeah... that makes sense. I’d feel that way too”?

In this episode, I’m talking about the invisible sign we’re all wearing—“Do you see me? Do I matter?”—and how the answer we all crave is found in one word: validation.

I’m sharing real-life stories—from a college freshman homesick and scared, to a moment when I was sobbing in the kitchen and just needed Cody to listen. I talk about how validating your kids, your spouse, and even yourself can change everything.

You’ll hear how I’ve used journaling to say the things I wish someone else would say to me. You’ll also learn why validating someone doesn’t mean agreeing—it means understanding, and it’s the key to healing, connection, and peace.

This episode is for the woman who wants to be a safe place—for others and for herself.
