Description

In this Coffee Chat, I’m diving into something that comes up every year around this time: comparison. From body image to Christmas plans to what everyone else’s family, life, or business seems to be doing — it can feel like we’re constantly measuring ourselves against other people’s highlight reels.

I share why comparison actually spikes during this season (spoiler: it’s biology, not a personal flaw), how stress and social media amplify it, and even how I’ve felt it myself recently comparing my own food brand to others.

This episode is a gentle, honest reminder that comparison isn’t a verdict — it’s a signal. And when it shows up, there’s a kinder, more grounded way to respond.

Grab your coffee and settle in with me for a little perspective reset.
