STORY SUMMARY

This episode explores the invisible committee we all carry in our heads — the collection of everyone whose approval we've ever sought. We unpack how approval-seeking becomes automatic, why external validation never truly fills us, and how to begin trusting your own voice again. Through breathwork and affirmations, we practice giving ourselves the permission we've been waiting for from others.
