196: Your Unfair Advantage Is the Key You’re Ignoring
In this episode, we dive deep into the idea of unfair advantages—and why avoiding them might actually be holding you back. From personality and perspective to connections, creativity, and upbringing, everyone has something that gives them an edge.
The conversation explores why we often downplay our strengths, how guilt and the need for “fairness” keep us stuck, and what changes when we finally lean into what makes us us. This episode is a powerful reminder that your advantages aren’t something to hide—they’re something to use.
If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable standing out, succeeding too easily, or being “ahead,” this episode will challenge you to rethink everything.
Tune in as we unpack:
✨ Everyone has unfair advantages—even if they don’t look the same
✨ Avoiding your strengths doesn’t make life fairer, it makes it harder
✨ Guilt and fear of outshining others often block growth
✨ Gifts, talents, personality, and perspective can all be unfair advantages
✨ Life isn’t about equal starting points—it’s about using your piece on the board
✨ Leaning into who you are makes life easier, freer, and more fulfilling
✨ You don’t owe anyone smaller versions of yourself
