If you've ever visited my YouTube channel, you know my monthly reset videos are some of my most popular uploads. My guest on the podcast today was the inspiration behind these videos for me as she is the Queen of monthly reset videos. Carter Sullivan is a 25-year-old content creator and corporate gal from Ottawa, Canada. When she's not creating content focused on life in her 20s, finance, and setting goals, she's working her full time job in the healthcare system. I was so excited to sit down with one of my all time favorite Youtubers and ask Carter all the questions!

Have you ever felt the nudge to compare yourself to someone else's life? As an entrepreneur, they don't tell you the part where comparison likes to creep in at a moment's notice. Comparison is the process of constantly evaluating our own behavior, thoughts, emotions, relationships, businesses, house, clothes, looks, and lives to each other. It's one of the most damaging internal narratives we can have. With comparing comes fear of failure, fear of not being or doing enough and it can be so debilitating sometimes. So if you ever got caught in the comparison trap I hear you, I've been there, and so has my guest. I'm so thrilled to share Tess's story and insights into her own comparison experiences, how it affected her as a photographer, and what steps she took to create a shift. Enjoy this chat amongst friends and tell me have you ever compared yourself to someone. About the Guest: Tess is a documentation photographer based in Austin, Texas. . She graduated from Ut with a degree in Journalism and Cultural Anthropology. Tess knew she wanted to share diverse stories through photography and so then pursued her venture as a documentarian photographer in 2014. Tess is passionate about documenting the important moments in life from weddings, to just a typical day in life.
