We seek validation the second we come into the world. The responses we get from other people let us know right from wrong. That's why it can be very detrimental to someone to be rewarded for bad behavior or punished harshly for normal behavior.

Learn how to stop seeking validation from outside sources and seek it from yourself. This is absolutely life-changing and so freeing to experience. Let's talk about validating yourself in this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/therealmahni/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/therealmahni/support

Facing shame and guilt stops meaning people from making the next step in their self-love journey. We care a lot about how others perceive us and not wanting to admit our mistakes does not cover shame, but it increases it. Having something to hide about ourselves makes us operate in fear and fear is the opposite of love. When we are able to accept that we are human and we make mistakes, we can then move on from them and improve ourselves. We can use the things that have caused us to feel this shame and use them as learning tools to help us navigate our lives in the future. Let's discuss healthy ways to use shame and free ourselves from guilt. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/therealmahni/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/therealmahni/support
