Why do we compare ourselves to others? It’s wired into us for survival—but in today’s hyper-connected world, it often leaves us feeling like we’re never enough. In this episode, Dr. Robyne unpacks the evolutionary roots of social comparison and why it’s both a natural instinct and a modern challenge. She shares strategies for how to recognize when it’s hurting rather than helping, what we can do to stop it from pulling us off course, and how to turn it into a tool for growth and motivation.

If you’re someone who tends to get pulled into the trap of social comparison, this episode will help you shift your perspective—so you can move from competition to collaboration and from self-criticism to a more balanced and empowered view of yourself.
