Comparison is the Thief of Joy: Saint Therese's Garden of Souls

from Getting PersoNell with Christ · host inallenadabat

In this heart-to-heart episode, I’m joined by my best friend Nicole Leyco as we talk story about the real and raw ways comparison has gotten the best of us—especially in our friendship, faith journeys, and even how we see our own holiness. We open up about the times we’ve measured ourselves against each other, wrestled with not feeling “holy enough,” and how social media, ministry life, and even Lent can feed that mindset. But through it all, we lean into the gentle wisdom of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, who reminds us that each soul is like a unique flower in God’s garden. Join us as we laugh, reflect, and reclaim our joy—reminding ourselves and our listeners that you don’t have to be a rose to be beautiful in God’s eyes. You just have to bloom as you are. 🌻 ✨ Honest stories 🌿 Real friendship 🙏 Deep faith 🎧 You don’t want to miss this one! #GettingPersoNellWithChrist #CatholicPodcast #ComparisonIsTheThiefOfJoy #SaintThereseOfLisieux #FaithOverComparison #CatholicFriendship #LentenReflections #GodsGarden #BloomAsYouAre #WomenInMinistry #CatholicCreatives #YoungCatholics #HolyNotPerfect #FaithJourney #SpiritualGrowth
