186: Why People Don’t Celebrate Your Wins (and Why You Should Anyway)

In this episode of The Grae Area Podcast, we talk about the importance of showing the world how to treat you — especially when it comes to your creativity. Why do people cheer louder when you get a 9–5 than when you follow your dream? How do you stay excited about your art when the money hasn’t caught up yet?

From “business showers” to taking naps before celebrating wins, this one’s about self-celebration, trust, and keeping your joy even when others don’t understand your vision.

Welcome to the Grae Area. We are @bn.breeze8709 @JusMeShakoyahD and @WhoisDamani_ Through uncommon topics that make us laugh when we shouldn’t, we make conversations fun again. We love to laugh, create, and inspire while having unique and thought provoking conversations.
