I am so excited for today's episode to take y'all with me on a little virtual trip down memory lane to... SPAIN! I wanted to get up close and personal with y'all about a time when life really was NOT insta perfect and comparison was rearing its ugly head all while I was supposed to be "living my best traveling life." Comparison is real and hard and sticky! It is also like watching another car while trying to drive your own car... it does not work. So, today, I wanted to talk about comparison and what helped me through it. I want to get open and honest about times when I put myself down and was my worst critic. And, I want to give a BIG bear hug to anyone who is in this spot right now. Today's episode talks about comparison and some things that helped me through. This is such a big topic though and I hope to hear your story and do more episodes on this in the future. Never forget, you ARE amazing- whether you believe it or not right now- I know it is true.

“I think when you tackle other dreams, it can help bring you closer to who you are and where you're meant to be and what are the desires in your heart and to be able to reflect and pray about those things more and to have more clarity.”
