The Need for Validation – Breaking Free from Approval Addiction

In this episode of The Sacred Breakthrough, we’re talking about the hidden ways our craving for validation keeps us stuck, why we fear being “wrong,” why we hesitate to take action, and how to break free from the need for approval. I share: • How our addiction to feedback and external validation was programmed into us from childhood. • Why validation doesn’t actually remove fear, it reinforces our dependency on it. • The real reason we procrastinate on big moves, from launching a business to speaking our truth, to just being ourselves. • Four powerful steps to detach from the need for approval, reframe failure, and take action before you feel ready. If you’ve ever held back, waiting for permission, this episode will help you shift from hesitation to action without needing anyone else's approval. Big Takeaways: • Seeking validation won’t make fear go away, it makes you more dependent on it. • Not everyone will agree with you, and that’s okay. The real question is: Do you validate yourself? • Reframing failure as feedback helps you grow faster and step into your power. • Your voice, your wisdom, and your experience are valid—right now. No one else needs to sign off on that.
