Do you genuinely want the goal or do you want what achieving it would prove about you?

In this episode of Wellish, Sarah breaks down how approval-seeking can quietly shape your goals, especially when you’re a naturally Type B person holding yourself to Type A standards. You’ll learn how to recognize when a goal has become proof that you’re disciplined, desirable, successful, healed, or finally good enough and how to separate what you truly want from how you want other people to see you.

You don’t have to abandon your ambitions. You can pursue meaningful goals without making your achievement responsible for your self-worth.
