from The Steady Becoming | Personal Growth Stories for Women · host Miriam Kokolo

EPISODE #1Comparison isn't just making you feel behind, it's convincing you not to start. Here's why, and how to stop using their success against yourself.In this episode, I tell the story of a woman who watched her neighbor's garden from the window for years. The rose hedge. The fig tree. The perennials that just came back every year. And the quiet conclusion she drew from all of it: that it was too late for her.We unpack why comparison is most dangerous not when it makes you feel bad, but when it makes you feel logical about giving up. And what it looks like to open the seed packet anyway.🔗 EPISODE COMPANION LINKSZazzle: https://www.zazzle.com/store/freshandyummy💭 YOUR TURNLet me know your thoughts in the reviews.🔔 SUBSCRIBE OR FOLLOWIt's free and it just means you won't miss the next one.
