Episode 33Welcome to the Healing Pod! I want to go to pirate pride week…Happy pride everyone! Pride was a riot and no one can make me ashamed of myself no matter how hard they try, I’ve way too much practice doing that myself to fall for it.But anyway, this episode is actually about the trap of comparing ourselves. To others, to ideals, to shoulds, to anything that leaves a winner and a loser.While it seems like a shortcut to belonging and to doing things “right,” all it tends to do is make space for us to feel worse because we are not someone else, rather than revel in our own experiences and accomplishments. We explore our experiences with this trap and find ways to backtalk into actually supporting ourselves as ourselves rather than trying to “win” an unending and unwinable game.Guinea fowl say hi in the background! Tis the season of chickens. Not to be outdone by chickens of course. If Jess’ words don’t seem to match her mouth at times in the video version, you’re totally imagining that, just go with it. As always, thank you to the wonderful Miki Anderson for our intro and outtro music. She can be found under Pax Minerva on Apple Music and is all around a wonderful human being. Come join us and chat, complain, or send in what mental health you would like to hear us ramble about! Find us on Facebook, TikTok, and instagram at The Healing Pod We are online at https://www.PeasInTheHealingPod.com  You can email us any questions, suggestions, comments, or memes at [email protected]  If you want to hunt down the bits and bobbles that have been cut out of our episode, join us for another live recording, or just to buy us a cup of coffee, come join us at https://www.patreon.com/TheHealingPod
