About this episode
In this episode, Monique Rhodes discusses the reasons behind social comparison and offers tools to overcome it.
Why do we keep comparing ourselves to other people — even when we know it makes us feel terrible? In this episode, I'm getting into the real reason comparison hurts, and it has nothing to do with what the other person has. We talk about the neuroscience of social comparison, what's actually happening when you scroll through someone's Instagram and feel suddenly hollow, and a simple tool called the values audit that can stop comparison in its tracks. If you want to understand what's driving your comparison anxiety and finally get some relief from it, take my free Happiness Quiz at www.iintendtobehappy.com — you might be surprised by what you find.
