Are You Seeking Truth or Validation? The Battle Between Being Right and Getting It Right

Ever wondered why we sometimes seek validation over truth? Join us, as we unravel this paradox. We tackle the delicate balance of offering advice while validating feelings, learning from a personal mammogram story. We also delve into the courage it takes to seek and accept help, the repercussions of silent struggles, and the profound insights gained from listening to the experiences of others. Finally, we champion the virtues of intellectual humility and the potency of active listening. Listen with us as we reveal the transformative power of embracing diverse perspectives, the art of fact-checking, and the importance of seeking truth over validation. As a treat, we wrap up the podcast with our 'Get Involved, Question Answered' segment where we address your queries and thoughts.
