Whose opinion do you value the most? If the answer is anyone other than yourself, this episode will be eye-opening. We are conditioned from an early age to please others. To change the way we operate to accommodate how others feel. As children this makes sense - it's essential for our survival. But as adults, and especially in marriage, we want to cultivate the skill of internal validation. When you value, acknowledge and appreciate your own feelings, perspectives and needs, you become less co-dependent on your spouse to always agree with you.A healthy, happy marriage requires TWO healthy, happy people. Mastering the skill of internal validation is one important way to create that. Tune in to this episode as I break down the steps to doing so, and help you overcome the obstacles that have already been in your way.Also mentioned in this episode: The Well Made Woman - my 6 month group coaching program for women - is opening up for enrollment on November 20th for our January 2025 cohort.
