How much of your life has been shaped by other people's opinions? In this truth-packed episode of They Said She Couldn't, So She Did, we're diving deep into the approval trap—why so many of us get caught in the cycle of chasing validation, and how to finally break free.

I'm sharing a personal story of how one doctor's biased words shifted the course of my entire career—and what it took years later to realize the real cost of giving someone else that kind of power. Together, we'll explore:

• How childhood conditioning fuels our approval addiction

• The invisible costs of waiting for permission to shine

• Practical steps to reclaim your voice and give yourself the approval you've been searching for

If you've ever felt like you're holding yourself back because of what "they" might think, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting and start living boldly.

💡 Don't just listen—take action. I created a free Journaling Companion to go with this episode so you can reflect, release, and rewrite your own approval story.
