What to Say to a One-Upper
5Description
You’re excited to share something you’re proud of, and then someone jumps in with, “Oh, that’s nothing—I’ve done [insert bigger, better thing here].”
It’s like they can’t help but make it a competition. Every win you share becomes their chance to one-up you.
At first, it’s just annoying. But over time, it starts to wear on you.
In this episode, I’m sharing 3 simple strategies to deal with one-uppers.
You’ll learn how to protect your peace, set boundaries, and stop letting these moments steal your joy.

Very helpful in reframing and redirecting the conversation, whether dealing with a one-upper or realizing that the one-upper is the man in the mirror. 😳
