77: Why You Should Celebrate Yourself More (and Let Others Celebrate You Too)

We celebrate birthdays. Big milestones. The obvious moments. But everything in between? The showing up, the growth, the hard days you got through… we usually just move right past it like it doesn’t count. In this episode, we’re talking about why you deserve to celebrate yourself way more than you probably do. Not just when something big happens, but in your everyday life. We get into how easy it is to downplay our wins, move the goalpost, and tell ourselves we’ll celebrate “later.” And how that can keep us from actually feeling proud of ourselves in the moment. We also talk about something that doesn’t get brought up enough — how uncomfortable it can feel to let other people celebrate you. Both of us share moments where someone was excited for us or proud of us, and our first instinct was to brush it off instead of receiving it. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need permission to celebrate your life. The small things count. The quiet growth counts. You showing up counts. And learning to acknowledge that, and even let other people celebrate you too, is such a big part of building confidence and actually enjoying your life as it is right now. ✨ In this episode, we talk about:

Why we only celebrate ourselves once a year (and why that needs to change)
The small, everyday wins that actually deserve recognition
How we downplay our progress without realizing it
Moving the goalpost and waiting to celebrate “later”
Why receiving praise and celebration can feel uncomfortable
Letting people be excited for you instead of brushing it off
How celebrating yourself builds confidence and self-worth

💭 Reflection for you:

What’s something you’ve done recently that you didn’t give yourself enough credit for?
Where are you waiting to celebrate instead of allowing it now?
How do you respond when someone compliments or celebrates you?

🌸 Try this this week:

Say out loud: “I’m proud of myself for…”
Share a small win with someone you trust
Do something simple to celebrate yourself (flowers, coffee, a slow moment)
Let someone compliment you without deflecting it
