...Competing With Everyone’s Highlight Reel

In this episode of I Am Practically Done, Dr. Shena Dixon Mason, Esq. goes after the comparison trap that quietly runs so many high‑pace professionals. You’re building businesses, degrees, and a family—and still feeling like you’re late, behind, or somehow not “enough” because your brain is benchmarking against what you see online and in your circles. Professionally, this pushes you to say yes to projects, roles, and goals that look impressive but feel misaligned. Personally, it makes you either hide your struggles or over‑explain your wins. Financially, it can lead you into spending, scaling, or signing onto things that fit someone else’s brand more than your own. This episode reframes comparison as data, not a verdict, and gives listeners one centering question, a social‑media boundary, and reflection prompts to help them trade performative success for actual satisfaction.
