If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to “keep your eyes on your own paper,” and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing on social media, then this episode is for you. Christine talks with Nichole Cavallaro, LMHC, about why we compare our lives to everyone else’s online “highlight reels” and what we can do to stay in our own lanes and know that we are enough just as we are.
