In this episode, we’re exploring a pattern so many of us carry quietly: the belief that we have to earn our worth.When “good enough” keeps shifting just out of reach, we can find ourselves stuck in a cycle of proving, pleasing, and performing—often without even realizing it.

I talk about the subtle yet powerful difference between approval and validation, and how approval—when treatedas a currency for love—can shape our self-worth, our relationships, and even our parenting.

You’ll hear reflections from my own life and how these patterns might show up in yours—whether it’s around appearance, achievement, money, or motherhood. Together, we’ll look at how to begin reclaiming your enoughness by turning inward: acknowledging your fears, noticing your judgments, and gently taking off the blinders that have kept you in performance mode.

Because you don’t have to chase your worth. You already hold it.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Why “good enough” often feels just out of reach
• The difference between approval and validation—and why it matters
• How approval-seeking can silently drive disordered patterns of behavior
• Why our judgments of others often reveal our own hidden insecurities
• A compassionate path to reclaiming your inherent worth
• How healing this pattern can shift how we show up as parents and partners
