OM DENNE EPISODE
Do you ever wonder, “How do I have more fun in my life?” or “How can I laugh more and feel more like myself again?”
The answer might begin somewhere unexpected:
Let yourself be celebrated. ❤️
If you’re the person who plans everyone else’s birthdays, organizes the gatherings, cheers everyone else on—and then says “Oh no, don’t make a fuss over me” when it’s your turn—you are not alone.
In this episode of the Finding Fun Experiment Podcast, Treena Innes explores why so many women have a hard time being the centre of attention, receiving appreciation or allowing the people they love to celebrate them.
And more importantly—what might we be missing when we continually say no?
What if being celebrated isn’t about ego at all?
What if it’s actually part of our Fun Health?
✨ Why being celebrated can create powerful feelings of connection, belonging and appreciation
✨ Why some women find it much easier to give than receive
✨ How decades of being the responsible one, the helper, the nurturer and the organizer can make receiving attention feel uncomfortable
✨ How constantly saying “Don’t make a fuss over me” may mean missing opportunities to feel seen, valued and connected
The big idea?
Being celebrated may be one more way to bring more fun, laughter, connection and aliveness into your life.
When we make fun, laughter and play a must-have instead of a nice-to-have, life can feel brighter, lighter and healthier.
Take one step toward allowing yourself to be celebrated this week.
Let someone make a fuss over you.
Celebrate a milestone you normally would have brushed aside.
Plan your own birthday gathering.
Or gather your favourite people together simply because you are alive and your life matters.
Then notice how you feel afterward.
A day later.
A month later.
Maybe even years later.
You might discover that celebration isn't something you need to avoid—it might be one of the experiences that helps you reconnect with joy, laughter, belonging and the sparkly version of YOU.
