In today's episode, I'm exploring a topic that impacts all of us—falling into the "Comparison Trap."

Have you ever felt perfectly content with your life until a quick scroll through Instagram left you questioning if you were doing enough? I'll share a personal story about a recent episode of backyard envy to show just how quickly other people's highlight reels can undermine our own satisfaction. I'll walk you through three powerful truths about comparison: how it drains your energy, distorts reality, and distracts you from your true purpose.

If you're ready to stop measuring yourself against others and want to reclaim the joy and momentum in your own journey, this episode will help you break the cycle and focus on your unique path to brilliance.
