Are you tired of bending over backward for everyone else, hoping they’ll finally see your worth?

Do you find yourself constantly seeking approval, only to feel drained, frustrated, and unseen?

In this episode, we’re talking about The Validation Shift—why external validation will never be enough and how to break free from the people-pleasing cycle for good.

I’ll introduce my brand-new mini-course, The Validation Shift, designed to help you reclaim your power, set boundaries without guilt, and finally trust yourself—without needing permission or approval from anyone else.

In just five transformational modules, you’ll learn:

Why external validation never truly satisfies—and how to shift the source of your worth

How to recognize and stop validation-seeking behaviors

The key to setting and enforcing boundaries without guilt

A self-appreciation practice that rewires your brain for confidence

How to make self-trust and confidence your new normal

You get 2 hours of on-demand video lessons, available anytime, with lifetime access—so you can revisit the material whenever you need a reset.
