It’s because you’ve been reaching for worth and love in all the places outside yourself.If you grew up with conditional love or never felt fully worthy as a child, it’s only natural to keep grasping for that validation now. But when worth is tied to achievement or approval, it’s like chasing smoke—your hands are always empty, and the frustration builds.In this episode, I unpack why we feel stuck, the roots of that hamster-wheel cycle, and practical ways to step off it. You’ll learn how to connect back to the one person who can truly give you the love and worth you’ve been searching for all along—you.
