051 The Comparison Struggle with Heather Creekmore

You know how it is… a woman walks into the room, posts on social media, or shows up at the PTA meeting and we immediately look her up and down, make assumptions, and begin to make comparisons between her life and ours in our head. I’m not sure how or when that ever started, but the struggle is real. Today we tackle The Comparison Struggle with Heather Creekmore, the author of The Burden of Better: How a Comparison-Free Life Leads to Joy, Peace, and Rest. Heather has been featured on Fox News, Huff Post and more, but she's best recognized from her appearance as a contestant on the Netflix hit show, Nailed It.
