Girl, are you saying this? I was. I can’t count how many times I used this phrase, in my head and out loud. A friend is taking a vacation? Must be nice. A colleague received an award? Must be nice. But when someone used this phrase to me about a recent fundraiser I put on for my nonprofit, those three words hit me in the gut. By telling someone it “must be nice” to have a big win, we discredit their achievement. Those three words take away from the years of hard work that it took to get to that moment. Hit play and learn about how this phrase changed my perspective on how I show up for others.
