In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, we’re talking about something most healing journeys overlook—validation. You’ve probably heard things like “just trust yourself” or “you don’t need anyone else’s opinion.” But what if you’ve been gaslit, manipulated, blamed, and lied to by someone you loved? What if you spent years questioning your own reality?
Here’s the truth: you do need external validation in the beginning. It’s part of the healing process. And today, I’m walking you through the three phases I see people go through in the Independently Strong program—from Borrowed Belief to Rebuilding Reality to Self-Validation.
If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along, or wondered why you still need reassurance—this episode will help you breathe again. You’re not behind. You’re human. And you’re healing.
