Ep. 133 | Why We Use External Things to Feel Like Enough (And What to Do About It)
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel
In today's episode, I'm sharing something that happened at a car dealership recently that revealed something about myself I genuinely didn't see coming - and that I think a lot of us are doing without realizing it. Geneen Roth writes in Lost and Found that if you're trying to fill something that can't be filled with what you're using, the emptiness never goes away. And just because we've been living according to particular beliefs for twenty or fifty years doesn't mean they have one shred of validity. Today's episode is about external validation, what we need to be represented by, and what it's actually telling us. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life are you using something external to tell a story about yourself that you wish you already believed on the inside?
