Description

You know you’re enough—but the second your partner mentions her, the spiral starts.
Sound familiar?

In this honest, grounding episode, I break down the real costs of comparison in non-monogamous relationships—like the way it quietly erodes your presence, self-trust, and peace.

You’ll hear:

  • Why “knowing better” doesn’t stop the spiral
  • How patriarchy conditions us to compete—even in open dynamics
  • What comparison really steals from you
  • And the exact reframe and tools that help you come back to yourself

💭 “They’re not my rival. They’re a reflection of what’s possible.”

This episode is your invitation to stop shrinking and start showing up for yourself—even when the spiral hits.
