Did You Ever Wonder What Sound a Loop Makes When It Closes?

🎶 You’re Not Wired for Growth Until You Do This”

There are moments in coaching that catch you off guard — not because something went wrong, but because something so right happens that it rearranges your understanding of what transformation really looks like.

Jaydene Sniffen was ready to launch her website.
That’s a milestone. We acknowledged the work, the courage, the decisions that brought her here.

And then I asked her what I often ask my clients:

✨ “How are you going to celebrate?”

She paused.
Closed her eyes.
Took a breath.

And then, without explanation or hesitation, she began to sing.

A Hawaiian prayer of thanks and blessing — five full minutes of ancestral reverence, sung into the moment like a ribbon being tied around a gift.

It wasn’t just beautiful.
It was right.

Celebration Is How the Body Recognizes Growth

We talk about growth a lot. We chase it.
But growth uncelebrated is growth unintegrated.

Your nervous system needs a marker.
A pause. A breath. A song?

A moment of reverence, not just relief.

Celebration is not the cherry on top.
It’s the bridge between “I did it” and “This is who I now believe I am.”

And the deeper the reverence, the deeper the wiring.
That’s how we build the synapses of success.

Not by moving faster, but by letting the new self settle into place.

So often, we skip this part.
We downplay.
We deflect.
We move on.

But what if we didn’t?
What if we learned to celebrate in the language of our truest self?

I was stunned. Moved. Humbled.

And it reminded me of something I know but sometimes forget:
When we close loops — real, deep, internal loops — we make room for the truth of us to come forward.

Some people dance.
Some people light candles.
Some people cry.
And some — like Jaydene — sing a five-minute Hawaiian prayer of thanks.

And that, my friends, is how you close a loop.

To Jaydene — thank you for letting me walk with you to the edge of this moment.
Thank you for singing your way across it.

Your website is live.
But more than that, your voice is.

And tell me — what’s your celebration language?
How do you let your nervous system know when you’ve just become someone new?
