Ever catch yourself comparing who you are now to who you used to be — or who you thought you'd become by now? This quiet self-pressure often feels like motivation, but it can quietly drain our joy, our energy, and our sense of worth. In this episode, we explore the emotional weight of temporal self-comparison — the belief that we're somehow falling behind ourselves. We'll talk about where that comes from, what it costs us, and how to gently reclaim your self-trust and pace. You're not behind — you're human.
