The Rachel Hollis Podcast 858: Pep Talk | You Don't Need Their Approval
Stop Chasing Approval and Own Your Worth Right Now
Rachel Hollis addresses the exhausting and futile chase for external approval and validation, emphasizing that true worth must be built from within. She highlights common behaviors like obsessively checking social media likes or bending over backwards to be noticed, which ultimately give power to others over our peace.
Rachel uses a powerful analogy of a painting bought cheaply but always valuable to illustrate that our inherent worth doesn't depend on others recognizing it; it has always been there. She reminds listeners that their worth is unconditional and internal, and they don't need permission or applause to be valuable.
The key message: "You don't need a crowd to be powerful... You don't need permission to stand in your worth. You've got everything you need already inside you." This pep talk encourages building self-worth that no one can take away, regardless of others' opinions or reactions.
Chasing Approval Is Futile
- Chasing approval from others is like chasing oxygen; it is exhausting and futile.
- True self-worth can only be built from within, not from external validation.
Build Self-Worth Inside
- Stop seeking permission from others to be valuable or worthy; it's unnecessary.
- Build your worth from the inside, so outside opinions cannot define or diminish you.
