In this brief conversational excerpt, two speakers discuss the importance of recognizing and celebrating everyday achievements as a tool for mental‑health maintenance and self‑doubt reduction. Speaker A shares personal examples—getting out of bed, making the bed, remembering coffee—as tiny victories worth acknowledging. Speaker B reinforces the practice by describing a coaching habit: at the start of every client call, they ask for recent wins, modeling the behavior for themselves. The dialogue underscores that consistent, supportive acknowledgment of small successes, especially within a coaching or community context, helps build confidence and resilience.

Yeah, and, and that's where you got to remember is you need to celebrate those small wins. And I try to remember myself and all my other network. It's, it's like, yay, I got out of bed today, right? Celebrate it. Yay, I made my bed. Yay, I remembered— I didn't remember my coffee today, but I didn't even get that far. It's okay.
Celebrating the small wins is a big thing, and it's something I tell my clients every day. We start every coaching call What are your wins for the last— since the last time we talked? I do that with my clients. You think I could do it for myself? Of course. That's the thing, right?
That's why we need support.
That's why we need friends. That's why we need a community, because we can totally do it for other people.
