🌿 Validation.
In a recent South Asian wellness workshop that I co-taught, I shared something deeply personal: I have never truly felt like I fit in — always straddling the many nuances of two different cultures.
Back in my childhood, there weren’t enough resources or knowledge — and validation was what I needed most, but rarely found.
I see the same thing missing now — across the board, including in wellness spaces. We’re so busy keeping up, competing, or pushing through that we forget how powerful it is to simply recognize the state we are in right now.
👉🏼Because the state we’re currently in drives how we think, feel, show up, connect, and perform.
✔️That’s why one of the first things I do in Performance & Resilience Tactics (PRT) is share my 3 Gears Model — a simple framework that gives us language to validate our current state, so we can meet ourselves (and each other) with more understanding.
✨Validation isn’t soft — it’s the first step to resilience and lasting performance.
