In today’s episode of Life Unleashed, we’re talking all about the problems with comparisons. We know we’re not the only ones who struggle with comparing ourselves to others—whether it’s someone else’s success at work, in the gym, or even their bucket-list vacations.

In this episode, we also dive into expectations vs. reality and how we combat setting expectations that are too high. So join us for another fun and honest conversation on Life Unleashed!
