Are you chasing approval at the expense of your own peace? In this episode of the Triggered AF Podcast, we’re joined by powerhouse executive coach and emotional intelligence expert Christina Howard, who’s guiding us through what she calls a Validation Detox.

After years of leading at the executive level for major corporations like Target, Ross, and ClubMed, and now coaching high-achieving leaders and CEOs of 9-figure organizations, Christina knows firsthand how easy it is to get hooked on external validation. She shares how to break free from the cycle, reclaim your power, and own your truth unapologetically.

In This Episode We Dive Into:

• Why it’s critical for leaders, visionaries, and anyone seeking inner peace to release the need for validation.

• How to spot when you’re chasing validation instead of living authentically.

• The role of emotional intelligence in creating self-awareness, self-acceptance, and healthier relationships at work and at home.

• How leaders can create meaningful environments where people feel seen, heard, and truly valued.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough unless someone else says so, this episode will help you detox from that need and step fully into your truth.
