Celebration. It's a word that often conjures images of clinking glasses, confetti, and grand gestures. But what does celebration truly mean in the life of a musician? In the latest episode of 'The Musician's Journey', Jed Elliott, a globally touring musician, and Chelsea Szabo, an executive career coach, take us on an unplanned exploration of this very theme.

As the episode unfolds, Jed shares his perspective on concerts as celebrations, where the energy of the crowd and the performance intertwine to create a shared, joyous experience. He speaks candidly about the duality of celebration – the outward, public displays and the inward, private acknowledgments of personal achievements.

Chelsea, with her rich background and personal journey through cancer, offers a profound insight into the nuanced ways we can incorporate celebration into our daily lives. She speaks to the importance of recognizing the small victories, the quiet moments of gratitude that often go unnoticed. It's about accessing joy, she says, and allowing ourselves to feel deserving of celebration in all its forms.

Together, they discuss the importance of balancing the external and internal aspects of celebration, particularly in the high-octane world of music. They touch upon the need for artists to ground themselves after the adrenaline rush of performance, suggesting that celebration is not only about exuberance but also about calming and centering oneself.
