In this episode, I reframe comparison as something useful rather than harmful. Instead of letting it affect your confidence, you can treat it as information.By getting specific about what you notice in others, you can identify areas to improve or realise their version of success is not what you want. When approached with curiosity, comparison becomes a tool for growth rather than a judgement of your worth.____________________👋🏽 Hello!
