That girl 3-5-10 years ahead of you. You are not her. You are never going to be her. No matter how much you want to be, it’s not going to happen. Why, because you were not (born) Her. You were born YOU. The reason you will never be who she is, is because you are unique in yourself. No one else has the life experience you do, or the perspective on life that you have. This is why you can NOT compare yourself to anyone else in life. Not even yourself in the future or the past.

Each day brings new experiences, and with that a new level of knowledge. How we use that knowledge is different for everyone. If all you do is compare and say “but, I can’t do that cuz I’m not where she is” of course you’re not, she never showed you how she got there. The decade of self doubt and worry. The stress over if she should quit or not. No one ever sees that. All anyone ever focuses on is the current “Nancy” not the Nancy of 2010 when she was just starting out, working at 1 am while breast feeding her 6mo old. Laboring away at creating content while the baby napped instead of napping herself because she was exhausted and could barely keep her eyes open. NO one sees that. 

You want to know how to be relatable. How to connect with your audience. STOP comparing and just be YOU. Your story is how you are relatable. Only YOU experience life the way that you have but the similarities are how you become relatable and trustworthy. If you don’t take a risk and be vulnerable, you’ll not really get anywhere.

As you can tell, by these notes, I feel passionate about this topic. Be ready to take notes cuz this episode is a doozy.
