Everybody wants to have friends & family that root for them, but that’s not always what we get. When it comes to validation, we have to let it come from within - rather than looking outside of ourselves. External validation arises when we look to other people (or products) for confirmation that we’re on the right path or that what we’re doing is [or feels] “correct.” In the conversation of goal-setting, entrepreneurship, or designing your life, external validation plays a big role - and holds a lot of people back. In this episode, you will learn more about:What external validation is and the role it plays in our goal-setting & accomplishmentsHow many of us are programmed to seek external validation during childhoodThe difference between internal vs. external validationHow social media enables people to externally validate, and how it can set people up for disappointmentHow to begin internally validatingHow our purchases can be motivated by external validationAnd more!www.theilluminatedpathpodcast.comhello@theilluminatedpathpodcast.comFollow me:IG: @kate.casanovaTikTok: @katemacri_YouTube: @Kate.CasanovaFB: @coachkatemacriSponsored By:New Moon Apparelwww.newmoonapparel.comBrought to you by:New Moon Holistic Lifewww.newmoonholisticlife.com

Alone time - just like awareness - is a crucial skill. Too much of it, and you’ll isolate yourself, but too little, and you’ll feel distant from yourself.

In this episode, you will learn more about:How too much alone time can hurt our relationshipsHow alone time can be beneficial for us to refocus/reconnect with our soulHow our relationship with alone time can change as we changeWhy extroverts can struggle to take alone time and connect with themselvesWhy introverts can struggle with making time for connection with othersThe power of setting intentional timeHow to structure healthy alone timeAnd more!www.theilluminatedpathpodcast.comhello@theilluminatedpathpodcast.comFollow me:IG: @kate.casanovaTikTok: @katemacri_YouTube: @Kate.CasanovaFB: @coachkatemacriSponsored By:New Moon Apparelwww.newmoonapparel.comBrought to you by:New Moon Holistic Lifewww.newmoonholisticlife.com
