The reason you feel behind in life is because you’re comparing yourself to others who seem to be ahead of you.

When you compare yourself to people who graduated, got jobs, got married, reproduced, bought cars and houses and vacations, not only are you doing a disservice to yourself, but you’re also contributing to the narrative that “success” is measured by external achievements rather than inner fulfillment.

Here’s how to stop comparing yourself to others and start accepting that you are exactly where you need to be.

Let this episode be a refreshing, encouraging reminder that feeling lost, directionless, or behind in life just means that you are taking the necessary time to pave your own way.

“Some of us knew who we were and then we lost our way. Some of us never became our Self in the first place. We grew older, we aged, our roles and functions changed, but we never grasped our essence. We became many things- a professional, a partner, a mentor, a parent, a friend- but we never truly became our Self.” ~ pg. 22 in Dr. Sara Kuburic’s book, It’s On Me.

If you’ve ever felt this way– lost, like you don’t know who you really are– then this conversation is for you. Dr. Sara is a psychotherapist who focuses on existential psychology after a long journey of experiencing, studying, and explaining the concept of “self-loss.”

You will learn...

Remember: who you are evolves over time, but if we are stuck checking boxes and pleasing others, then we will always feel inauthentic, disconnected, and lost in life.

I thought I was a good communicator until I read this book.

It has challenged me (in a good way) and I wanted to share some of my takeaways with you.

You will learn...

Remember: there’s a difference between communicating clearly and communicating compassionately. I always thought the goal was the former, but now I’m realizing that it’s the latter.

Hope you enjoy my unofficial book club, where we talk about books that have helped me heal, grow, and evolve.

You will learn about...
