We all know that comparison is the thief of joy. Got it. But we still do it -- even though we know better. On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, I share how a dinner celebrating inspiring women hosted by Twitter in Atlanta stirred up a lot of doubt and fears, because of the comparison, and a blast of self-awareness, because I realized that I was letting those things sit down at the table with me.

Be aware of who or what you let sit at the table with you when you're creating something big in the world. Invite joy, gratitude, ambition and intention. Tell the negative they can't sit with you!
