Ever catch yourself getting a compliment and instantly deflecting what they said? In this episode, I share a vulnerable story about how I totally minimized my D1 volleyball experience right in front of my son, while Jenn helps me unpack why we fall into this crazy self-sabotage. We'll walk you through how to recognize those patterns of playing small, validate your own accomplishments by looking at the facts, and give you a killer strategy for accepting compliments that actually feels authentic. If you've ever caught yourself saying "oh, it's not a big deal" instead of owning it, or if you want to model a healthier way of responding to compliments, this episode is your new best friend. 

 

Highlights
