    Welcome to the 424recording.com podcast! This week, I recorded a solo talk about celebrating your victories. It's important to try and "be here now" and be your own cheerleader when it comes to appreciating the things you've done. I have a bad habit of not taking a moment to be grateful for the things I've accomplished, no matter how big or small. I recorded this episode in my car about an hour before it was released at sunrise on a mountain; you can check out the video on the channel!
