From Validation to Self-Love: Expanding Your Safe Zone (Without Faking Extroversion)

Feeling “not enough” because you’re not loud enough? Same. In this heart-first episode, Karen and self-love coach Rachel unpack how introverts can stop chasing external validation and start honoring themselves. We talk safe zones vs. “feel the fear,” tiny steps that expand confidence, and why self-love isn’t selfish—it’s stabilizing. You’ll get 15-minute practices to re-ignite joy, mirror talk you’ll actually use, and kinder boundaries that protect your energy. Plus, Rachel shares a free 5-day self-love challenge and a grounding meditation (links in the show notes).
