Today we’re tackling the universal struggle of comparing ourselves to others. Whether it’s about body image, social status, or relationships, comparison can have a negative impact on our mental health, leading to a cycle of insecurity and self-doubt.

In this episode, we’re looking at how to break the cycle and actually re-frame it for your personal development. Join us as we dive into how to compare consciously and mindfully, transforming it into a tool that actually serves you instead of tearing you down. Some of the topics covered today are:

• Knowing who we compare ourselves to and why
• Instagram, TikTok, and social media - and its impact on your self-esteem
• Self-worth and self-confidence 
• Mindfulness and deliberate thought work 
• Stories we tell ourselves about other people’s success 
• How to break the cycle of compare and despair 
• Tearing others down as an attempt to find comfort 

Join us for an informative episode where we’ll break down practical strategies for breaking free from the compare-and-despair cycle so you can find more peace and self-assuredness.
