Something's missing, and you can't quite put your finger on what it is.
You're ambitious, you've worked hard, you've done everything right. And yet there's a quiet restlessness that success hasn't touched. I know that feeling personally. After ten years of infertility and a career that never felt like mine, I had to learn how to stop chasing happiness from the outside in, and find it from the inside out.
I'm Russell Davis, therapist and coach, and each week I share honest conversations, personal stories, and guided experiences to help you cut through overthinking and self-doubt and reconnect with the clarity, confidence, and well-being that's been inside you all along.
This isn't about coping techniques or self-help hacks. It's about getting to the root of what's keeping you stuck, and discovering that the life you want is closer than it feels.

In this episode, Russell unpacks the deeply human but often hidden habit of seeking validation from others and how it disconnects us from our own sense of worth. With powerful storytelling and raw personal insight, he guides you toward a new relationship with yourself one built on self-acceptance, not external approval.
You’ll discover:
-
Why chasing praise keeps you anxious, burnt out, and unfulfilled
-
How validation-seeking begins in childhood and becomes an unconscious habit
-
Why even praise can't fix the "leaky vase" of self-judgment
-
The link between people-pleasing, burnout, and fear of criticism
-
A powerful forgiveness practice to release self-judgment and reclaim your truth
This episode is a compassionate call to stop outsourcing your OKness and start living from your own inner knowing.
