In this episode, we’re tackling a hidden but powerful habit that can erode self-confidence and stall personal growth: comparison. It's so easy to scroll through social media or hear about someone else’s success and feel that pang of self-doubt. But constantly comparing ourselves to others can be damaging, leaving us feeling like we’re never enough.Join us as we explore why comparison can be such a destructive force, how it impacts our mental health, and what we can do to break free from it.
