The Importance of Self-Worth and Validation

One of the main ideas discussed in this podcast episode is the significance of self-worth and not seeking validation from external sources. The speaker emphasizes that one's worth should not be determined by work, achievements, or the opinions of others. They stress the importance of connecting with oneself and answering the question, 'What am I worthy of?' Low self-worth can lead to toxic relationships and an inability to set boundaries. On the other hand, high self-worth enables individuals to surround themselves with positive influences and not let external factors define their value.
