In this episode of 2 Be Better, Chris and Peaches break down what self validation actually means, why your own voice matters, and how chasing approval keeps you stuck in reaction mode, people pleasing, and shaky confidence. You’ll hear a straight talk walkthrough of the emotional fallout that comes from ignoring your inner compass, over apologizing, decision paralysis, self betrayal, and losing your sense of identity, plus how external validation and social media “likes” can quietly hijack your self worth and choices. 

You can expect practical, repeatable tools for building self validation and self care into daily life, pausing before you look outward, naming feelings without shame, rewriting harsh inner talk, celebrating effort, and creating simple rituals like journaling prompts, mirror work, anchoring phrases, micro breaks, breathwork, meditation, sound baths, and boundary choices that help your nervous system feel safe. If you’re working through codependency, anxiety, guilt, burnout, or relationship patterns that make you abandon yourself to keep the peace, this conversation gives you language, examples, and a clear path to reclaim agency, hold your no, and live with more clarity in your marriage, family, and life.
