In this episode, I’m getting real about something we ALL deal with—comparing ourselves to others (thanks a lot, social media 🙃). It’s so easy to fall into the trap of scrolling, comparing, and feeling like we’re not doing enough—but honestly? It’s sabotaging your progress and keeping you stuck. I’m breaking down how comparison sneaks into our lives, the damage it causes, and—most importantly—how to shift your focus back to your journey. We’ll talk about actionable ways to get out of the comparison spiral, like limiting social media time, celebrating your wins (no matter how small!), and practicing gratitude. Plus, I’m sharing my own experiences with comparison and how I’ve learned to use others’ successes as inspiration instead of letting it create self-doubt.

If you’re ready to stop comparing and start focusing on YOUR goals, this episode is for you. 💖
