Let’s Talk About the Loud Wins

There’s a difference between momentum and a milestone.

One keeps you moving.

The other stops you in your tracks—and changes you.

That’s what a loud win feels like.

It’s not just something that happens to you.

It’s something that rewrites you.

I just returned from speaking at Harvard.
(Even typing that still gives me chills.)

It was one of those “Did that really just happen?” moments—until I remembered:

Yes. It did. And I’ve been preparing for it for years.

Here’s what I want you to know:

Loud wins don’t always come with applause, a trophy, or a selfie to capture the moment.

Sometimes, they show up as a gut-level shift. A knowing.

A line-in-the-sand moment where you realize: I’ve crossed into a new version of myself.

We often define big wins as:

• The promotion
• The certification
• The standing ovation
• The milestone you worked hard to earn

And they are.

But sometimes, a loud win is mentoring someone who rises.

Or leading your team through something that would’ve unraveled you five years ago.

Or parenting through a hard moment—and knowing in your bones: that changed both of us.

These moments? They leave a mark.

Even if you can’t trace every breadcrumb that got you there, you feel the imprint.

Loud wins are the kind that stick with you. They shape you. They stretch your edge.

And here’s what matters most:

You’ve got to own them. Out loud.

Why?

We’ve been taught to play small.

To deflect. To dim.

To make our big moments more palatable.

Not here.

In my coaching practice, we name it. We honor it. We celebrate it.

Not from ego—but from evidence.

Because loud wins aren’t just external validation.

They’re proof—the neuroscience your brain needs to rewire old narratives.

The ones that whisper “not enough,” “not ready,” or “why you?”
Loud wins are counterproof.

They say: Look how far you’ve come. Look who you’ve become.

And when you shrink that moment, you rob yourself of the clarity that comes from claiming it.

Here’s How I Celebrate Loud Wins—And How I Want You To, Too

When a big moment hits, here’s what I do:

🖊️ I journal what it took to get there—the doubts, the turning point, the feeling after.

🗣️ I say it out loud to someone I trust. No downplaying. No disclaimers.

💛 I feel it. Not just pride in the outcome—but in the woman I had to become.

🙏 I find the gratitude. That practice changes me every time.

Because here’s the truth:

Loud wins aren’t just about what you achieved.

They’re about what they activate inside you.

That shift? That swagger? It’s yours now.

Let This Be Your Reminder:

If you’re in the middle of something big—or on the other side of it—don’t skip the celebration.

Your loud win doesn’t have to be public to be powerful.

But it does have to be felt.

So take the moment. Take the pause.

Claim your seat. Clap for yourself.

You’re not just doing the work—you’re becoming the woman who leads it.

And that, my friend, is worth getting loud about.
