Oooh, validation. We are addicted. A little ‘like’ here. A little ego-boost there. We crave validation for a LOT of different reasons.

Most of us know when our ego takes over but what about those SMALLER cries for attention? Our urge to scroll. Our need to people-please. Can we love ourselves without a slow drip of praise? THAT’S the question.

So, put down TikTok. Stop taking a selfie. Forget your like-count for one, tiny moment. We’re talking about MICRODOSING VALIDATION. It’s a mouthful and it’s a great topic!

What we cover:

- Where our urge for validation comes from?

- Is it all bad or is it okay to crave praise?

- How to validate yourself (in super practical ways).

- What’s your validation weak spot?

- The link between your values and FEELING valued.

- PLUS, if Katie was a cheese, what cheese she would be!
