this week (in the final part of our external validation series), we continue to deep dive into a topic that’s come up again and again across our episodes : seeking external validation.

check out part 1 first, where we reflect on our own relationships with validation, how it’s shaped our childhoods, friendships, and identities. we also explore the psychology behind validation seeking.

in part 2, we get into the emotional cost of it all and actually share some tips into how to stop seeking it!

in this very thought provoking episode (at least we thought so!) we discuss the notion of 'the right path' and discuss the following...

-is there such thing as a right path?

-what are the things to look out for when questioning this? (values, morals, happiness)

-being complacent/comfortable even if things don't feel 'right'

-the instability of life means that 'paths' are always changing

we discuss the privilege of being able to make changes in your life to better yourself and those around you.. and why its important to be grateful for that <3

we end on a personal note and ask ourselves if we feel like we are where we should/want to be..
