About this episode
Wes discusses the impact of external validation on self-worth and the importance of self-acceptance.
You can be your own biggest supporter and still act like a stranger gets the final vote on your worth. I sit with a sharp old quote that exposes a modern problem: we’re wired to protect ourselves, yet we keep handing our confidence to titles, salaries, grades, and social media likes. When that happens, self-worth becomes a fragile reflection that changes with every room we walk into and every feed we scroll.
