Show notes
Ever catch yourself trying to prove you’re good enough - again? This week I’m digging into why we chase validation at work (and in life), and how that constant need to earn approval shapes the decisions we make. I’ll walk you through how to spot whose opinions are running the show, how to turn the volume down on your inner critics, and what it really takes to start trusting yourself instead. Because you don’t need to earn your worth. You already have it.You’ve got this!I’m your coach, Kate Maxwell 🫶Timestamps:00:00 – The pressure to prove yourself at work01:04 – Why we crave validation and how it forms02:50 – How to identify your critics and supporters04:53 – The hidden cost of external validation07:22 – How to switch to internal validation10:55 – Steps to practice self-validation11:53 – Final encouragement and next steps🔧 FIND THE TOOLS & TRANSCRIPT:katemaxwellcoach.com/blueprints-to-becoming/you-dont-need-to-prove-anything📚 MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:Brené Brown’s Arena Moments exerciseFREE PRIVATE WORKSHOPHOW TO MAKE BETTER CAREER DECISIONShttps://www.katemaxwellcoach.com/signup-free-career-decision-workshop📺 Watch on YouTube🎧 Listen via your podcast app⏰ 18 mins, available immediatelyBONUSES📘 Downloadable Summary🎧 Curated Podcast Picks💖 WORK TOGETHER🌐 www.katemaxwellcoach.com/charted – CHOOSE A NEW CAREER DIRECTION IN 6 WEEKS – Without Burning Any Bridges🌐 www.katemaxwellcoach.com/tethered – DESIGN AND BUILD YOUR DREAM CAREER IN 5 MONTHS – Without Sacrificing Your Stability👋 SAY HI💌 [email protected]🌐 www.katemaxwellcoach.com🫂 LinkedIn
