We all like a little validation from time to time... but there's a difference between needing it and wanting it. For most of my life I would have done anything for external validation, because my worth depended on it. Because I didn't get the validation I needed in childhood, let alone in high school, I developed a coping mechanism -- looking for external validation from romantic partners. In this episode I walk you through my process and how I manage those feelings today. I hope you can maybe find some value in it. Big Love, V xx
