3 key takeaways about external vs. internal validation:

• Stuckness happens to everyone, it can be like the flu where you don't feel good and can’t imagine ever feeling better again. To become unstuck, do a good thing for yourself that brings you the feelings that you want to encourage more of in your life.
• We are conditioned to be outside-in learners, meaning we learn about ourselves based on what’s happening externally. Take time to be quiet and in the moment to become an inside-out learner.
• A good place to start working on internal validation is identifying peak moments that make you feel like yourself and then identify what parts of your character came out of those moments.

Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
