Dependent on external validation
\u201cWhat I know now is that when we derive our worth from the relationships in our lives \u2014 the intimate ones, the social circles we belong to, the companies we work for \u2014 we give away our power and become dependent upon external validation. When that is taken away, our sense of value, and identity, goes with it.\u201d
This reaffirms a theme we explore from a variety of angles throughout this podcast. The idea that you are good enough for who you are, regardless of the relationships outside yourself, is important. It\u2019s all the more impactful when it comes from someone who is achieving great success within those relationships and as an African American woman. It\u2019s a message for everyone.
