Episode Details

In this episode I talk about declaring that something is worth celebrating.

I talk about my journey with celebrating the studio’s anniversaries and how every year I would create a party and a theme, but I don’t know that I ever really felt like anyone could understand the magnitude of what I was actually accomplishing.

And it got me thinking about celebration and validation and why sometimes something feels even bigger when somebody ELSE sees it too.

There’s a reason words of affirmation are one of the five love languages. It feels good when someone recognizes something you did. It feels good to get the compliment. It feels different when somebody else sees what you’ve accomplished too.

Nothing is automatically going to be celebrated unless you decide to celebrate it and make it a big deal.

People will celebrate something however big you decide to make it.

I talk about DJing weddings and how I’m not DJing for just one person in the room. I’m helping create the energy for ALL of the people in that room to celebrate. Someone decided this day was a big deal, planned the celebration, invited everybody, and now everyone is there treating it like the big deal that it is.

And sometimes we hit these really big milestones and they don’t FEEL as big as we thought they would.

We accomplish A LOT and sometimes we actually need to create the moment that allows us to recognize it.

Things feel more special when you make them special.

I challenge you to plan the celebration.... I am going to too!

Happy 15th Birthday to my dance studio
