#298: We all know comparison is the thief of joy, but what does it mean to truly embody a comparison-free life?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Elyse Fox, filmmaker, writer, and founder of Sad Girls Club to unpack and dismantle comparison.

Along the way, we also discuss Elyse’s journey of self-discovery, what it means to build community, how she’s redefining success on her own terms, and how you can too. Tap in for candid insights on mental health, entrepreneurship, and making space for joy.

We Also Talk About…

• Elyse’s mental health journey and how it led to the creation of Sad Girls Club
• Why it’s okay to not have all the answers
• How vulnerability led to building a global community
• The power of asking for help, creating boundaries, and the importance of accepting support
• What it’s like running a nonprofit and leading a dynamic team
