Are You An Approval Addict?

Hi, my name is Stephanie, and I am a recovering approval addict.

We all seek external validation to affirm our sense of purpose and self worth. It's a primal instinct. We crave approval by our peers, our seniors, our partner. Our desire to feel belonging is so ingrained that we will bend over backwards and say yes to situations that intuitively have us screaming no. Sometimes, it's easier to say yes to things we disagree on than face the possibility of rejection!

But the more we dishonour ourselves and our innate knowing, we may start to live and act in ways that are inauthentic.

In this episode, I talk about what approval addiction is, signs that you may be an approval addict, and spend the last minutes reading an article written by Lori Deschene, founder of the blog site Tiny Buddha.

So huddle in close, and enjoy this episode!
