This week on the pod, we’re talking about something that often gets overlooked on the road to success: gratitude.From the small wins to the big milestones, we’re learning that pausing to celebrate is not just powerful...it’s necessary. 🙏✨We reflect on how hustle culture made us minimize our progress, and why we’re choosing to slow down, look around, and give ourselves (and those around us) the flowers we’ve earned. 🌸If you've ever struggled to feel like you're “doing enough,” or if you're constantly on to the next goal without celebrating the last one, this one's for you.📌 Tap play and join us as we reframe success through the lens of gratitude.—💬 What’s one win you forgot to celebrate?
