In this episode, I’m talking about something we’ve all experienced falling into the comparison trap. You open Instagram for five minutes and suddenly you’re knee-deep in someone else’s highlight reel, questioning your own entire life.I explain how comparison isn’t a flaw. It’s biology. Our brains are wired to scan for social positioning because, back in the day, belonging meant survival. Now, it just means overwhelm and dysregulation.We talk about how comparison creates stress chemistry, why it’s not really about envy, and how to respond without spiralling. I guide you through four practical steps: name it, regulate your body before reasoning, ask what the comparison is revealing about your unmet desires, and clean up your digital inputs.You’ll also hear why the people who look the most “together” online are often the most tired and how true peace comes when you stop playing the game entirely.You can grab your copy of The Calm Planner here
