Sunday Set Up Ep. 34: Stop Waiting for Their Approval

Sunday Set Up Ep. 34: Stop Waiting for Their Approval

Author: Heal Squad April 19, 2026 Duration: 34:51
Happy Sunday Set Up, Heal Squad! This one starts with a conversation about a musician Kev found and how creative work comes together… and then it shifts into something much more personal. Anne shares a moment from this week, pitching a software product to 50 countries through the UN… a huge accomplishment… followed by hearing her mom say “I’m proud of you” to her sister instead. And how that feeling sticks. Kev opens up about being the one people rely on, the one who shows up, builds, delivers, and how those people don’t always hear that acknowledgement back. Maria jumps in too, sharing that sometimes parents just don’t fully understand what we do or how big those moments are. And it all lands on this: if you keep waiting for someone else to say “I’m proud of you”… you might stay stuck. At some point, you have to let that go, accept people for who they are, and keep moving anyway. Talk shawtly!
