Ep. 4 Reflecting on: Receiving Compliments
Since launching The Mood Booster Podcast, we’ve been receiving more compliments, which sounds great… until you realise how hard it can be to actually accept them.
In this episode, we reflect on why compliments often feel awkward or uncomfortable, diving into the psychology of self-verification, image regulation, and why praise doesn’t always align with our internal self-image. We explore how to move past the knee-jerk “oh this old thing” and start to internalise kind words in a way that supports real confidence.
We also discuss a brilliant study on compliment acceptance and share our own journeys around self-belief, validation, and finding the confidence to show up authentically.
An episode for anyone learning to say “thank you” and mean it.
