The Origin Story of the Celebrate Yourself Card Deck
How a moment of vulnerability sparked a tool for empowering confidence, connection, and everyday joy.
On October 27th, 2023, I facilitated my first in-person hypnosis workshop. I was excited, but also nervous—coming back into an in-person space after so long felt daunting. That’s when I realized: if I’m feeling this way, others might be too.
I reminded myself that I could do hard things, and I deserved to celebrate how far I’d come. That moment sparked an idea—I wanted my workshop participants to celebrate themselves too.
In just a few hours, I wrote 42 prompts, designed them into colorful cards, printed them out, hand cut them myself, sharing them the next day at my workshop. Sharing them with the group, I noticed how quickly they shifted the energy in the room. People embraced their power, vulnerability, and confidence.
Since then, these cards have made their way into spaces I never imagined, helping people connect with themselves and others in beautiful ways.
Two months ago, I began redesigning the deck, adding even more prompts to support us in celebrating ourselves, our dreams, our growth, our power, our excitement, and our openness to receive.
Now, this experiment has become a tangible product—one that you can use with friends, colleagues, or even on your own to turn inward, to release shame around being proud of yourself, tapping into joy and celebrating the magic in the everyday.
I’ve also created a unique hypnosis visualization audio to complement the prompts, designed to gently shift limiting beliefs and foster a deeper sense of positive self-perception and celebration.
In a world that rushes by, it’s easy to forget to pause and celebrate the everyday wonders. The Celebrate Yourself Card Deck is your gentle invitation to rediscover the magic in those small moments, to embrace every nuance of your journey, and to share that joy with those around you.
Self-celebration has been such a big part of giving myself permission to believe in my dreams and this project. And I hope it can spark something similar in you too.
