Today, we’re unpacking the complicated dance between vulnerability, celebration, and connection. Who are the people in your life who can hold your hard moments and cheer for your wins without shrinking? In this conversation, Jessica and Kelly explore the dynamics of friendships, particularly focusing on the tendency to share good and bad news. They discuss the societal pressures surrounding vulnerability and the celebration of personal achievements, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. The conversation concludes with a call to embrace an abundance mindset and celebrate wins together. Inside This Conversation:  The number of friends you call with good news is often smaller than those you call with bad news. Many people fear sharing good news due to concerns about jealousy or being perceived as bragging. Vulnerability is key in friendships, allowing for deeper connections. It's easier to share bad news than good news for many individuals. Cultural norms often discourage celebrating personal achievements, labeling it as bragging. Surrounding oneself with supportive friends can foster a healthier environment for sharing successes. The concept of 'candle blower outers' highlights the importance of uplifting each other. There is an abundance of happiness and success available for everyone. Celebrating wins is essential for personal growth and happiness. It's important to be mindful of others' emotional states when sharing good news.
