In this episode, we explore the deep-seated impact of comparison on our creativity, happiness, and overall well-being, inspired by the insights of Brené Brown. We dive into Social Comparison Theory, breaking down the differences between upward and downward comparisons, and how each shapes our self-perception and emotional state. Through candid personal stories and actionable strategies—like the practice of gratitude—we reveal the often unnoticed harm that comparison brings to our lives. We'll also share tips on how to shift focus from external benchmarks to personal growth and joy. Join us as we unpack the nuances of comparison and discover ways to cultivate a more fulfilling, self-directed life.
