About this episode
Winner, loser; beautiful, ugly; rich, poor—in a world that constantly asks us to measure up, have you ever stopped to wonder if the yardstick is broken?
Join me, Miist, for a few minutes of refuge as we peel back the filters of "aspirational living" to reveal how the thief of joy — comparison — might be stealing more than just your confidence.
From the tragic obsession of Salieri over Mozart to a deeply personal confession where I found myself unexpectedly envious of a gift given to my own daughter, we will explore the fine line between toxic jealousy and healthy admiration.
If you have ever felt like you are falling behind in a race you never signed up for, I invite you to discover why looking sideways is slowing you down, and to learn the simple, 15-second action that can transform your envy into inspiration—but you’ll have to listen to find out just how powerful a simple smile can be.
