Taking back control of your own happiness and satisfaction

The podcast explores the idea of reclaiming ownership over one's own reward mechanisms and making happiness and satisfaction intrinsic rather than extrinsic. It emphasizes the importance of giving oneself the love, approval, and satisfaction that is often sought from others. This approach requires breaking free from the cycle of people-pleasing and relying on external validation to feel happy. By cultivating a sense of self-satisfaction and love, one can experience a deep sense of fulfillment that is not dependent on others.
