Ask Jay: How Can I Stop Trying to Prove Myself to Others?

About this episode

Jay takes four listener calls exploring conflict, relationships, and the pressure to constantly prove yourself. He shares why resolving an argument isn't always the same as understanding it, how to stop letting an old stigma define your worth, and what to do when your efforts go unrecognized. From repairing relationships after a fight to finding peace without closing yourself off to love, Jay offers practical advice on speaking up for yourself, letting go of the need for validation, and recognizing the difference between excitement and anxiety when dating someone new.
