Authority figures (like parents) assume the responsibility of approval or disapproval to teach their offspring how to move through the world. It’s also a kind of currency: it determines who we are, where we belong, what doors open for us. But at some point, some of us begin to wonder—what happens if I stop asking for permission? In this episode, Joe and Brett wrestle with the complexity of approval-seeking and how to break free from it. They explore: The push and pull between belonging and authenticity The weight of societal norms and expectation The way doubt and conditioning pull us from our innate wisdom The necessity of discomfort in the pursuit of true authenticity The somatic cues that indicate when we are honoring our truth—or avoiding it Practical exercises for cultivating self-approval X: fu_joehudson Instagram: JoeHudson_AOA Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3ezSoop Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ETrfHA Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3Czx7Tu Other platforms: https://artofaccomplishment.com/podcast #artofaccomplishment #podcast #joehudson
