No one is above you. No one is below you. I’ve worked with CEOs of large corporations and people right out of college. You know what they all had in common? They all had insecurities. We might be traversing through a different context, in a different identity. But at the end of the day, we all struggle with comparison from time to time.
“How does everyone have it together, except for me?” We’ve all asked ourselves this question at some point. Especially now, with social media as such a huge cornerstone in our lives, comparison can feel inescapable. You know what I think the antidote is? Vulnerability.
Most people aren’t opening up about their struggles online. Every time we’re scrolling through Instagram, it’s a highlight reel. But what happens when you open up about more than the highlights? It can feel scary, but people really rally together. Suddenly, people start coming out of the woodwork to say “I’ve experienced that too!”
We can empower each other by inviting each other into our stories. The ultimate act of care can only come when people know you need it. Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes with others' highlights, to honor your own pace and individuality, and to recognize that everyone is navigating similar struggles.
In this episode, I’m chatting about:
- The social media illusion of “feeling left behind”
- Why you’re feeling a consistent pressure to perform and what to do about it
- Embracing vulnerability as a vehicle to your most authentic self
- Overcoming the comparison trap
