Why do we so often measure our worth through other people’s approval?

In the first full episode of Language for Living, I explore what happens when we outsource our value to qualifications, relationships, achievements, or public recognition—and why this leaves us vulnerable to losing ourselves.

This podcast isn’t about telling you what to think. It’s about giving you the concepts, language, and tools to think more clearly about your own life and the world around you.

If you’ve ever felt that something shaped your experience but couldn’t quite put it into words, this podcast is for you.

In this episode:

* Why we outsource value

* Intrinsic vs. extrinsic worth

* The language we use to understand ourselves

* Why concepts can change the way we see the world

* What to expect from Language for Living

🌱 Language for Living with Dr. Zoe Chitare brings socio-legal, philosophical, and social ideas out of academia and into everyday life; giving language to lived experience.
