JORDY traces her addiction to seeking validation back to childhood auditions and rejection, which left her constantly trying to prove she's good enough as an actor, singer, partner, and loved one. She describes the emotional weight of needing external approval and the pressure to meet others' expectations.

I was addicted to feeling validated by other people. Because even as a performer and, like, auditioning for roles as a kid and, like, not getting them and, like, feeling like I wasn't good enough, it's like, there are these moments in my life where I'm like, "All I wanna do is feel good enough for you. And all I wanna do is feel like that I have what it takes to, like, get the part or, like, sing this or be a good partner or to be loved."
