Everybody wants to have friends & family that root for them, but that’s not always what we get. When it comes to validation, we have to let it come from within - rather than looking outside of ourselves. External validation arises when we look to other people (or products) for confirmation that we’re on the right path or that what we’re doing is [or feels] “correct.” In the conversation of goal-setting, entrepreneurship, or designing your life, external validation plays a big role - and holds a lot of people back. In this episode, you will learn more about:

• What external validation is and the role it plays in our goal-setting & accomplishments
• How many of us are programmed to seek external validation during childhood
• The difference between internal vs. external validation
• How social media enables people to externally validate, and how it can set people up for disappointment
• How to begin internally validating
• How our purchases can be motivated by external validation

Alone time - just like awareness - is a crucial skill. Too much of it, and you’ll isolate yourself, but too little, and you’ll feel distant from yourself.

• How too much alone time can hurt our relationships
• How alone time can be beneficial for us to refocus/reconnect with our soul
• How our relationship with alone time can change as we change
• Why extroverts can struggle to take alone time and connect with themselves
• Why introverts can struggle with making time for connection with others
• The power of setting intentional time
• How to structure healthy alone time
