Listen "Are You Suffering from Unhealthy Comparison? | Melissa Ambrosini"
Episode Synopsis
In Episode #124, I sat down with bestselling author and podcast host Melissa Ambrosini to talk about comparison; or more specifically, how unhealthy comparison can send us into a downward spiral of negative self-talk and low self-esteem.
We covered what ‘comparisonitis’ is, why it’s important to be aware of it, its signs and symptoms, and unhealthy versus healthy comparison. Melissa also shares what to do when we notice unhealthy comparison, including some specific strategies from her new book. If you’re a parent, there are also some useful strategies for parents to help kids navigate comparisonitis.
For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.
Enjoy, friends.
