9. Criticism & Praise
Description
What happens when your self-worth is tied to what other people think?
In this episode, Amanda and Melissa unpack the downsides of criticism AND praise and the trap of thinking our work - whether it be personal or professional - only has value if it gets attention.
It’s not uncommon that patterns of approval seeking still linger post-sobriety. The hosts share the ways the need for external validation shows up in their lives still today & distracts from real growth.
Together, they break down these different manifestations of craving and how to own these important needs & the meeting of them as an inside job.
If you’ve ever felt like your value depends on how others see you & are ready to shift from needing validation to trusting your own voice—this episode is for you.
