Today, Equiteam's Liz Daniels and Lou Gillings chat about something that should be simple... but somehow, isn't. Being proud of yourself. With lots of huge achievements happening this week, including a BD Regional Nomination for Equiteam High Hopes Quest team, and some huge personal achievements, the pair explores a topic that makes Liz feels largely uncomfortable: being proud of yourself. Like most people, the duo find it super easy to shout from the rooftops about their friends, Equiteamers, their horse, or even someone they don't know, but when it comes to feeling proud of themselves, it feels alien, and voicing it feels almost crude. We move the goalposts. We downplay the wins. We worry we'll seem arrogant, or that if we stop and celebrate, we'll lose momentum.

But here's the truth:

Pride isn't the opposite of humility—it's the celebration of progress.
