Hey, friend! Today, we're talking about something that has been on my heart a lot lately- the power of small wins and why they actually matter more than we realize.
We live in a world that constantly celebrates the big, flashy milestones- the promotions, the six-figure businesses, the book deals, the dream homes. And those things are great! But what about the small victories? The little moments of progress that quietly shape our lives?
In today's episode, I'm sharing why shifting our mindset to celebrate small wins- whether it's folding laundry the same day it's washed (yes, that counts!), drinking more water, or just showing up when it feels hard- can truly transform how we approach life, business, faith, and our relationships. Plus, I'll share some practical ways to start recognizing and celebrating these moments in everyday life.
So, if you've ever felt like you're falling behind because your wins don't seem big enough- this episode is for you. Let's reframe our thinking, embrace progress over perfection, and start finding joy in the little things!

FEATURED QUOTES
"Things like social media and that hustle culture I was talking about, all of that has fed into why we don't tend to celebrate the tiny victories, the tiny steps, because we are constantly bombarded with everyone else's big wins."
"Sometimes we have to remember that when we get to the end of the day and we have done the best that we can with what we've been given… that is a win."
"Incremental progress, day-by-day matters, because here is the deal- our lives are made up of the tiny moments. Yes, the big milestones are great- the marriages and the having kids, the big career wins- they are wonderful, but they don't happen overnight."
