In this episode, we unpack the compliment deflection reflex—why so many of us squirm, joke, or outright reject praise. From cultural conditioning to self-worth struggles, we explore the deeper reasons behind this awkward reflex and how to retrain ourselves to receive compliments with grace (and maybe even believe them).
