Ep 27: Seeking External Validation - is it your worst enemy?

Do you find yourself validating your worth based off the opinions of others? I've done the same. I sometimes still do. This episode unpacks what external validation looks like, when it's okay and how to combat consistently seeking validation from external factors.

NB: I would like to prefix this episode with the understanding that any conversation, opinion or experience discussed within the Two Faces Podcast is formulated from the perspective of my life, or those around me. I absolutely consider myself to be a privileged individual. I am a heterosexual female living in a first-world, westernised society. While my background is Lebanese, I have grown up in Australia for the entirety of my life. I appreciate that this makes my opinions Eurocentric. This podcast has no intention of offending, distressing or upsetting any group, culture or person. If any person, whether they be a person of colour, an individual within the LGBTQI+ community, or anyone who identifies as non-binary or otherwise, has a differing opinion to those discussed in this podcast, please feel free to contact me on the below email address. Sharing perspectives other than my own is important. I strive to respect listen and openly educate myself about your journey as you join me on mine. Join this journey as we remove that extra face and become as truly authentic as we can. No person is you, and you are enough.

Thank you for listening!
