Listen "Stop Comparing. Start Focusing on You"
Episode Synopsis
Let’s be honest—almost all of us, at some point, have looked around and thought, “Shouldn’t I be further along by now?”Maybe it’s your career. Maybe it’s relationships. Maybe it’s that quiet voice that says, “Everyone else seems to have it figured out… what’s wrong with me?”We live in a world that constantly feeds us this invisible checklist: Graduate by this age. Build a career by that age. Find your person, buy the house, have the kids, chase the milestones—on a timeline that, honestly, no one can fully explain… but everyone feels pressured to follow.And when life doesn’t go according to that script, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind.But here’s the truth that rarely gets said out loud: You’re not behind. You’re just on a different path.There is no one-size-fits-all timeline for a meaningful life. There is no universal checklist for success, joy, or fulfillment.So in today’s episode, we’re unpacking the pressure to “keep up,” challenging the myth of being “late,” and reminding you of something deeply important: Your timing is not off. Your path isn’t broken. You’re exactly where you need to be to become who you’re meant to be.Let’s get into it.Follow me on instagram for more inspiring, motivational and uplifting content.
