How To Stop Seeking Approval
Podcast: The Art of AccomplishmentPublished On: Fri Mar 14 2025
Description: We grow up in a world where seeking approval is assumed, expected. Authority figures (like parents) assume the responsibility of approval or disapproval to teach their offspring how to move through the world. It’s also a kind of currency: it determines who we are, where we belong, what doors open for us. But at some point, some of us begin to wonder—what happens if I stop asking for permission? In this episode, Joe and Brett wrestle with the complexity of approval-seeking and how to break free from it. They explore:The push and pull between belonging and authenticityThe weight of societal norms and expectationThe way doubt and conditioning pull us from our innate wisdomThe necessity of discomfort in the pursuit of true authenticityThe somatic cues that indicate when we are honoring our truth—or avoiding itPractical exercises for cultivating self-approvalSend us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudsonBrett on X: @airkistlerAOA on X: @artofaccompVisit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.comWe invite you to experience our work.
