188. How to Stop Seeking Validation & Start Trusting Yourself with Libby Bunten

Are you constantly seeking validation from others, struggling with people-pleasing, or wondering why trusting your intuition feels so difficult? What if the missing piece isn't more confidence—but learning the practice of self approval? In this episode of Intuition Unlocked, host [Your Name] sits down with Libby Bunten, somatic embodiment coach, founder of Self Approval School, and former clinical therapist, for a powerful conversation about breaking free from external validation and reconnecting with your authentic self. Together, they explore how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and nervous system conditioning disconnect women from their intuition, desire, and inner wisdom. Libby shares why self approval—not achievement, productivity, or other people's opinions—is the foundation of self-trust, authentic leadership, and lasting freedom. If you've ever struggled with self-worth, boundaries, burnout, or feeling disconnected from yourself, this conversation offers practical insights into healing through embodiment, nervous system regulation, and learning to trust your own voice again. In this episode, you'll discover: * How to stop seeking external validation and build genuine self approval that strengthens your confidence and intuition. * Why people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment keep you disconnected from your authentic desires—and how to break those patterns. * How embodiment, nervous system healing, desire, grief, rage, and supportive sisterhood can help you reconnect with your body, trust yourself, and create a life that truly feels like your own. If you're ready to stop outsourcing your worth, strengthen your intuition, and build lasting self-trust from the inside out, press play for this transformative conversation with Libby Bunten.

187. How Your Life Story Shapes Your Reality (& How to Rewrite It Using Intuiition)

Have you ever wondered if the story you're telling yourself is actually true—or simply familiar? The beliefs you hold about yourself shape your decisions, relationships, confidence, and the life you create. Many of these stories weren't consciously chosen—they were inherited through childhood experiences, family dynamics, culture, or past challenges. In this episode of Intuition Unlocked, we explore how your inner narrative influences your reality and how intuition can help you recognize limiting beliefs, question outdated patterns, and begin rewriting the story that no longer serves you. In this episode, you'll discover: * How the stories you believe shape your mindset, identity, and everyday reality. * Why intuition helps you separate truth from fear so you can release limiting beliefs with greater clarity. * Practical questions to help you become the conscious author of your life and create a more aligned, authentic future. If you're ready to stop living by old narratives and start trusting your inner wisdom, press play and discover how rewriting your story with intuition can transform the life you create.
