## Resource

For the first time, Validate Me turns its attention directly to the audience. In this episode, Peter Rosenberg reads an email from a listener sharing their personal experience with validation addiction. Later, another listener joins the conversation to tell her story, opening up about the challenges, insecurities, and patterns that have shaped her life. What follows is an honest conversation about the ways validation can influence our relationships, decisions, self-worth, and sense of identity. At its best, Validate Me is about creating space for these conversations. This episode is a reminder that none of us are as alone in our struggles as we think. Send your stories, questions, and experiences with validation addiction to validatemeshow@gmail.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
