777: External validation vs positive feedback

We all recognise the value of positive feedback, but as adults we hear it so rarely. So today's episode is just for you.

Episode transcript:

Good morning daily peppers, and a very happy Wednesday to you. Now, before we dive into today's episode, I want to share with you something exciting that is happening next Monday, the 20th of March for two weeks. So I ran a group coaching program called One Woman Band. It is so much fun. We get so much shit done, and it is a fabulous community.

One of the experiments that I loved that I started last year is having a completely free taste of fortnight, so two weeks of one warm band where you get to really come and see what it's like and try it on. Emphasize with absolutely no expectation or obligation to join the next. It's about seeing what it's like meeting some really fabulous people and two weeks of making significant progress on what you're working on.

It's a mixture of group coaching calls, co-working sessions, and a huddle at the beginning of the week to set your intentions and a huddle at the end of the week to celebrate your goals and toot your horn. And I would love to see you there to find out more and to join the free woman band taster. Head over to the re arousers dot.

Forward slash taster. That is T A S T E R, and I've also put the link in the show notes now onto today's daily pep. So one of the many things that I think absolutely sucks about being an adult is that we don't get a huge amount of positive feedback. Now, I know in the self-help world when we tend to talk about positive feedback, the conversation tends to turn to the problems of seeking external valid.

And I wanna flip that on its head for a minute because yes, while we don't wanna live a life that is completely reliant on external feedback and what other people think, positive feedback and external feedback is still incredibly valuable. And it is especially valuable to those of us around here because we want to know that we are making a positive contribution to the world.

We want to know we are making a difference. And because so much of the time we are swimming against a tide, it can actually be quite radical to feel validated, seen and heard. So today I just wanna tell you that you're doing a really good job. Yes, of course there are things that you haven't done. There are things that you're probably late on.

There are things that you've been probably avoiding. I know that because that is definitely what I've been doing too. We are human. We are not. and the things that we haven't done do not diminish the efforts of what we have done. So if nobody has told you lately, I'm telling you this, you are making an impact in the world.

The world is a brighter place for you being in it. And you right now, listening to this, you are enough. You don't need to become the idealised version of yourself who can suddenly do all these things because you already have so much to offer. All of this is to say keep being you, keep doing your thing and know that you are doing way, way better than you think you are.

See you back here bright and early. As always tomorrow morning and maybe see you in person next Monday for our woman band Taster. Take care my dear.
