Episode 177: Claiming your wins and demanding more from yourself (the power of Self-celebration) Apr 22, 2023

Show notes

Do you claim your wins? Do celebrate yourself? Or do you just focus on getting "there" and say to yourself you're not enough?

In today's episode, I talk about the importance of claiming our wins and celebrating ourselves. Too often we focus on the "mythical there" and we forget to celebrate our wins. This leaves us always wanting and never feeling satisfied. When we learn to claim our wins and celebrate ourselves it opens up the possibility that we can be proud of ourselves AND demand more from ourselves - at the same time.

Listen to this episode to learn more about how you can respect where you're at and want more.

Warrior, this week claim a win and celebrate yourself! Go on!

In today’s episode, I talk about strength training and the important role it plays in our health and life. We cover types of strength training and how to strength train to get stronger and build muscle.
