The Validation Trap: Part 4 (From External Approval to Inner Anchor)


Listen Later

In this final episode of The Validation Trap series, we discover why identity is the missing piece in breaking free from external validation. From sleepless nights and wasted energy to the constant pull of others’ opinions, this conversation paints a vivid picture of what’s at stake when we look outward for approval. Drawing on neuroscience, resilience research, and a viral Taylor Swift quote about energy, we explore how to protect what’s most precious—your rest, focus, and peace of mind.  Bonus: The Anchor Exercise offers a simple rhythm for rooting in values and reclaiming authentic leadership.
