Ever feel like you’re auditioning for love? We go straight at approval addiction—how it starts, how it quietly runs our lives, and how to break free by anchoring worth in God rather than in other people’s opinions. Through honest storytelling and a faith-forward lens, we trace the roots of people pleasing back to conditional love and abandonment, then map a path toward healing that restores identity, peace, and purpose.

We unpack the everyday signs of approval addiction—constant reassurance seeking, saying yes while depleted, shrinking your voice to avoid conflict—and connect them to the deeper fear of rejection. From there, we walk through the turning point: trading performance for presence by leaning on scripture. John 5:41 reframes the need for validation, Psalms 139:14 affirms design and dignity, Jeremiah 31:3 declares enduring love, John 15:16 names calling, and Galatians 1:10 challenges us to live for an audience of one. These verses aren’t slogans; they become daily anchors to replace lie-based scripts with truth.

You’ll hear practical tools to move from burnout to freedom: pausing before you say yes, setting boundaries without guilt, and using grounded affirmations to retrain your inner narrative. We also share reflection prompts to help you spot where approval is steering your choices and how to realign with purpose. Along the way, we invite you into community for accountability and growth, because lasting change takes support and steady practice.
