Why do we still look for validation… even when you already know the answer?In this episode, I talk about a pattern that’s easy to overlook - seeking confirmation when what we actually need is trust in ourselves.Because a lot of the time, it’s not that we don’t have clarity. It’s that we don’t feel safe standing behind our own decisions without someone else agreeing.I share how this shows up in real life (from experience) by asking multiple people the same question, second-guessing decisions, and delaying action while waiting for reassurance.Not because we’re unsure… but because we’re used to outsourcing certainty.This isn’t about becoming rigid or never asking for input.It’s about recognizing when you’re looking for guidance… versus when you’re looking for permission, especially as a woman.And what changes when you start choosing yourself, even without external validation.If you’ve ever felt like you already knew what to do - but still needed someone else to confirm it - this episode is for you.
