072: Approval, Validation & the Art of Doing Less!

This episode is all about breaking through the barriers that hold you back. Whether it’s feeling overwhelmed by too many goals, struggling to ask for help, or falling into the same old patterns of self-sabotage, we tackle the mindset shifts needed to move forward. Expect real talk, practical strategies, and a deep dive into the psychology of decision-making. Plus, we unpack why people make ridiculous commitments in January, why LinkedIn validation-seekers are everywhere, and why racing through life like a dented car in traffic won’t get you anywhere faster!
