Do you ever feel like you were doing great—until you saw someone else doing “better”?

In this episode, Michelle shares two real-life stories—one from a spin class and another from a business mastermind—that reveal how comparison can quietly steal our joy and distort our sense of success. If you’ve ever felt less-than because of someone else’s numbers, lifestyle, or achievements, this conversation will hit home.

• A simple mental shift to help you define success on your terms.
• How to stay grounded in joy and confidence no matter who’s “ahead” of you.

Press play to discover how to stop comparison from robbing your happiness—and finally start measuring success by what truly matters to you.
