Ever feel awkward when someone compliments you? You’re not alone. It’s easy to downplay, dismiss, or deflect compliments.

But there’s a better way to respond to compliments. A way that shows appreciation, self-respect, and kindness.

In this episode, I’m sharing 3 simple strategies to respond to compliments.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

#1: How to accept compliments without feeling the need to dodge or downplay them

#2: Why a simple "thank you" can make you and the other person feel great

#3: Ways to acknowledge compliments that strengthen your self-worth (and don’t involve saying “oh, I got it on sale”)

These strategies will help you feel more comfortable accepting compliments, boost your confidence, and build stronger connections with those around you.
