Why Your Brain Is Wired for Comparison & How to Unplug It

Hey beautiful human 💛

Let’s talk about something that messes with all of us: comparison.

You’re feeling good, you’re proud of your progress… and then one scroll later, you see someone else’s abs, perfect kitchen, or gym PR, and suddenly, you’re second-guessing everything.

Sound familiar?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why your brain does this (yes, there’s science behind it), how it messes with your confidence, and most importantly, three mindset shifts that’ll help you stop spiraling and start showing up for yourself with more clarity, grace, and strength.

Inside the episode, I share:

• Why comparison is literally hardwired into your brain, and how social media hijacks that
  
  

• The difference between inputs and outcomes (and why most comparisons aren’t even fair)
  
  

• How to shift from self-judgment to self-growth using admiration
  
  

• Why your worth can’t be outsourced to likes, progress pics, or anyone else’s approval
  
  

• And how to build a stronger self-image that’s rooted in how you live, not how you look
  
  

This episode isn’t about surface-level “just stop comparing yourself” advice, it’s a deep reset on how you think, what you focus on, and how you start showing up with more intention in your own life.
