Escaping The Comparison Trap (A Riff on Ego & What Actually Satisfies)

from Athletic But Definitely A Party Girl · host Tim Landicho

None of us are exempt from the comparison trap — especially when we have more access than ever into other people's lives thanks to the internet. Today I explore scarcity mindset, privilege, and ego (and how a lot of people either misunderstand these things or talk about them carelessly), while sharing the uncomfortable truth about why part of me actually likes the comparison game. *gulp*I also reflect on what it feels like to process the end of a major chapter of my career (feat. a sneak peek of what's next) and close out with three super practical questions I ask myself when I catch myself in the comparison trap. Remember, babe: You can't be the baddest bitch version of yourself if you're constantly comparing yourself to other people. Mkay?
