Internal vs External Validation: Why You Don’t Trust Yourself Yet | EP. 100

from Single (not spiraling) · host Lauren Samantha

We talk a lot about “self-validation,” but no one really explains what that means in real life. This episode breaks down internal vs external validation, why relying on other people to confirm your feelings is so tempting, and how to start trusting your own reactions without over-explaining or second-guessing yourself. If you constantly ask, “Am I overreacting?” or need someone else to agree before you feel okay, this one’s for you.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: [email protected] for coaching HEREWould You Date You?
