Ever caught yourself feeling on top of the world one minute, and then totally doubting yourself the next—all because of a single social media post? Yeah, me too. So today, we are talking about the comparison trap, how it affects us, and most importantly, how to break free from it.


I’ll let you in on a moment that hit me hard. One second, I was celebrating my wins, and the next, I was questioning everything after seeing someone else crushing it at the thing I wanted to do. But, there is a way out! I’ll share a simple but powerful mindset shift that has been a game-changer for me: the PAQC Method. I’ll also share insights from what I’m learning in Kabbalah.


So, if you’ve been feeling stuck in the comparison cycle, hit play and let’s break it together!


"If you can get into the mode of giving, complimenting, and cheering people on, choosing collaboration over competition, it will put you into a positive mindset immediately." ~ Jen Gottlieb
