Today, Equiteam’s Liz Daniels and Lou Gillings chat about something that should be simple… but somehow, isn’t. Being proud of yourself.
With lots of huge achievements happening this week, including a BD Regional Nomination for Equiteam High Hopes Quest team, and some huge personal achievements, the pair explores a topic that makes Liz feels largely uncomfortable: being proud of yourself.

Pride isn’t the opposite of humility—it’s the celebration of progress.
