217 | How to STOP Seeking External Validation

Hey Guys! In this episode, I explore how culture, upbringing, and personality shape our need for external validation, which in turn creates both emotional and physical clutter. I share a simple 3-step plan to shift from seeking outside approval to trusting your inner compass. Key Points: Cultural Influence: Western culture’s “not enough” messages and capitalist marketing. Upbringing: Family expectations and early experiences that shape self-worth. Personality: How being naturally empathic can lead to internal confusion. 3-Step Plan: Cultivate Awareness: Reflect and journal to uncover the root causes of your validation-seeking behaviors. Challenge & Reframe: Question societal and familial expectations; redefine your story to reflect your true self. Affirm Your Inner Compass: Practice self-compassion, engage in grounding rituals, and celebrate your unique strengths. Tune in to start transforming your inner world and create a home that truly reflects who you are.
