## Resource

In Episode 4 of Validate Me, Peter Rosenberg kicks things off by reading an email from a listener and answering personal questions submitted by the audience about his own relationship with validation. Along the way, Peter reflects on his upbringing, his parents, and some of the experiences that helped shape the person he became. The episode also includes a meaningful moment of giving validation to someone, something that sits at the heart of what this show is all about. As Validate Me continues to grow, so does the role of the audience. This episode is a reminder that the conversation works best when we learn from each other's stories.
