✨ Alice’s Big Lessons – Why you can’t go back to yesterday and why that’s a good thing. And, how to stop choosing to be confused!
🐰 The White Rabbit’s Reminder – How to slow down, stop rushing, and be present.
😸 The Cheshire Cat’s Perspective – What’s actually worth your energy (hint: not everything is urgent!).

Worry won’t change the future, but being present today can change everything. 

Listen now and take your first step out of Worryland!

Ever feel like everyone else is winning while you're stuck on the sidelines? We're talking about comparison again, but this time we're moving beyond the Evil Queen’s mirror and into something far more empowering: using comparison as a coach, not a torture device. 

In this episode, we explore how Walt Disney didn’t waste time comparing—he used it as fuel to create something the world had never seen. From orange groves to Disneyland, Walt built his “Happiest Place on Earth” by staying in his lane, showing up daily, and letting inspiration sharpen his vision—not shake his confidence.

✨ Here’s what we’re diving into:

1. How to shift your perspective on comparison so it teaches you instead of tormenting you
2. Why you must run your own race and stop swerving into someone else’s lane
3. The power of consistency—putting in the reps even when no one’s watching

If you’re ready to silence the villain in your mind, unlock your magic, and start building your own dream—this episode is for you.
