  • Summary

  • In this episode, we delve into the concept of academic validation and its impact on self-worth. Through a mix of personal stories and reflections, we'll explore how the pursuit of good grades and achievements can sometimes feel like an addictive drug—one that can shape your identity in profound ways. We'll also discuss how to find balance, recognize when academic validation becomes unhealthy, and rediscover self-worth beyond grades and accomplishments.

    Quote of the Day: "Academic achievement was something I'd always sought as a form of reward. Good grades pleased my parents, good grades pleased my teachers; you got them in order to sew up approval." —Caroline Knapp

    Whether you're a student or just someone who has experienced the highs and lows of seeking approval, this episode offers insights into understanding and overcoming the pressures of academic achievement.
