Episode 249: From the cold and wintry streets of NYC, Nat’s back with a solo episode and diving into her honest feelings about kicking off Rella's next round of fundraising! Cozied up in bed, with BBQ delivery on the way (because obviously), Nat takes a turn into an honest conversation about social media and the very real dangers of comparison. She shares some of her personal coping mechanisms for when she’s trapped in the cycle of comparison and encourages listeners to find contentment in the present moment rather than chasing the illusion of perfection. Hopefully, this episode will peel back the curtain on the overfiltered world we're living in, inspire you to live in the moment, and serve as a reminder that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the screen.
