In this no-excuse episode of The Adventurous Author Podcast , we dismantle the silent addiction to praise—and show you how daily writing builds a self-regulation system so strong you’ll never need permission, motivation, or gold stars again. 🔥 Inside this episode: ✔️ How your brain builds internal accountability (and why it matters more than motivation) ✔️ The hidden cost of chasing validation as a writer ✔️ Why obedience > applause in your creative calling ✔️ A 15-minute challenge to detox from the praise loop ✔️ What Scripture says about approval, identity, and mastery 🎧 Listen now.
