87. Q&A: What if the Only Permission You Need is Your Own?

Inspired by a client question, "How do we stop asking for or seeking permission?", Marie Groover explores the theme of seeking permission in our lives and how it can hinder personal growth and self-discovery.

In this episode, she emphasizes the importance of recognizing when we seek validation from others and encourages listeners to take ownership of their desires and ambitions. By understanding that we are the only ones who can grant ourselves permission, we can begin to take meaningful action towards our goals and aspirations.

This conversation also touches on the hero's journey and the need for self-acceptance and support rather than external validation.
