187. Parable of the Pretzel

from Abundant Heart · host Amber Lee Smith

Inspired by a moment with my daughters, I discuss the “parable of the pretzel” and how it illustrates the tendency to reach for someone else’s success while overlooking what’s already ours. We’ll explore how comparing yourself to others, especially on social media, can distract you from the abundance in your own life. If you’re ready to find joy in what’s right in front of you and build from a place of contentment, this episode is for you.
