Why Your Transformation Deserves Your Own Thanks: The Power of Self-Recognition in Growth



When a client thanks me after a session or program, expressing how they’ve rediscovered themselves or remembered their true essence, it’s one of the most heartwarming moments of my work. That deep acknowledgment of their own growth is a reflection of the power and beauty of what we’ve achieved together. However, while I appreciate and feel honored by their gratitude, I always remind them of one important truth...


They deserve to thank themselves too.


I often say, "I just opened the door, but you chose to walk through it."


This isn't just a humble statement. It’s a profound reality of their journey. The positive transformation in their life and business wasn't simply something given to them, it was something they actively created by choosing to step into their potential. They were the ones who made the decision to enter that door, face whatever was waiting on the other side, and embrace the changes that followed.


The Courage to Choose Growth

Every client who steps into a session with me has already made a powerful decision: the choice to invest in themselves.


That initial step is often the hardest. Deciding to prioritize your own growth, business, and personal development requires courage. It’s easy to stay in the comfort zone, to keep doing what you’ve always done, but real transformation happens when you make the choice to step outside that space.


When clients thank me, I always reflect back to them that it was their courage, their choice to walk through that door, that made all the difference. I can guide, support, and provide insights, but the real work, the real transformation, comes from within them. They are the ones who did the deep, often uncomfortable work of self-discovery, breaking old patterns, and creating new, empowering habits.


Acknowledging Your Own Power

There’s a unique power in acknowledging your own role in your transformation. When clients recognize that they were the ones who chose to change, they start to realize the depth of their own strength and capabilities. This self-recognition is crucial because it empowers them to continue growing and evolving beyond our sessions.


The moment you realize that you hold the keys to your own success is the moment you become unstoppable. By thanking yourself for your growth, you reinforce the belief that you are capable of achieving even more. You see that the answers and solutions to your challenges have always been within you—you just needed to trust yourself enough to act on them.


The Ripple Effect of Self-Gratitude

Thanking yourself isn’t about diminishing the role of others in your journey. It’s about honoring the role you played in your own story.


When you give yourself credit for your growth, it creates a ripple effect. You start to trust yourself more, take bolder actions, and embrace challenges with a sense of confidence. This self-trust doesn’t just benefit you; it radiates into your business, relationships, and every aspect of your life.


As you continue to acknowledge your own power and choices, you also inspire others to do the same. Your journey becomes a beacon for those around you, showing them that they too can create positive change in their lives.


The Next Chapter of Your Journey

So, to all my clients who have thanked me, I say this...


Thank yourself too. You were the one who decided to step into this journey. You were the one who chose growth, healing, and transformation. You were the one who walked through that door and embraced the opportunities on the other side.


Every step forward you take is a testament to your own strength and potential. And as you continue on this path, remember that the power to create your future lies within you. Trust yourself, thank yourself, and keep choosing the doors that lead to your greatest self.
