Episode #40

Jealousy and the ‘comparing’ we come up against so often in life and business can be detrimental if we allow it to be where we operate from too often. In this episode we journey through breaking down where our feelings and thoughts stem from in addition to thinking about them in fresh new ways.

They also emphasized that someone else’s success doesn’t detract from one’s own experiences.
