S2 Ep46: I Hate Awards

This week on Sheena Interrupted, we’re celebrating a huge milestone… and unpacking why it made me deeply uncomfortable. We celebrated our YouTube plaque for 100,000 subscribers which sent me spiraling back to childhood awards, second-place trophies, and that feeling of never quite being “the best.”

TRID thinks awards are just souvenirs of the journey. I’m over here wondering if they quietly mess with us on a deeper level and the way we see ourselves… 

Also in this episode: we discussed into Olympic Medals, Grammys, Streamys, and why some people crave recognition while others want to run from it.

If you’ve ever:
    •    Felt weird accepting a compliment or an award
    •    Worked just as hard as everyone else and still didn’t get “first place”
    •    Taken time off for kids or life, and are now trying to come back to work or your dreams…then this episode is for you. 

Stay till the end for some terrible award puns from TRID, a live mini performance of The Christmas Song, and a little reminder that you’re not defined by a trophy…or the lack of one.
