She shares her lessons learned from some of the biggest times in her life, and reminds you that the joy and pleasure that celebration brings is actually revolutionary and radical for our own self-care.

[9:45] - Komal shares the importance of acknowledging the good and the bad in our journeys to accomplishing the big things we are proud of, and how it can help us to create space to celebrate in a meaningful and authentic way.

[36:40] - Komal shares her most important lesson: the importance of cultivating, accepting and learning that you are worthy of being celebrated. That the things that you have accomplished and all the things you did to get you there are worthy of celebration. 

I hope you take some time to celebrate yourself this week. You deserve it!

“We must learn to take up space, to share our wins, to learn to talk about the details, the money. To hold back is not only detrimental to you, but people that could be inspired by you. Imagine all the people you could inspire just by celebrating how far you’ve come. People want to see other people win, people want to be inspired by the people around them. Give them the opportunity. You are worthy of celebration.”
