Stop Skipping This Step in Content Creation

Welcome to The Signal 🛜 (Formerly The Washed Report )— a weekly breakdown of the ideas, strategies, and hard truths that cut through the noise in branding, storytelling, and creative business.

The real growth hack? Celebrate every step forward, no matter how small.

We spend hours scripting, filming, and polishing. Then we hit publish, and… nothing. We don’t even celebrate the fact that we shipped something. I’ve struggled with this too—rushing to the next thing without giving myself permission to enjoy the win.

But here’s the truth: celebrating your own work isn’t arrogance. It’s confidence. When you take a moment to like your own post, share it again, or even just say out loud, “I did that,” you reinforce momentum. You signal—to yourself and your audience—that what you create matters.

Don’t let your work pass by unacknowledged.

Celebrate your wins. You’ve earned them.

Promote the hell out of your work!

Clarity wins. So keep sending the right signal!
