Today we're diving into something that probably has you nodding your head - the exhausting cycle of comparing yourself to everyone else's social media perfection. Through Michelle's story (wait until you hear how this forty-three-year-old mom stopped measuring herself against twenty-something fitness influencers!), I'll show you how shifting from external validation to internal progress can transform your entire journey. Remember when Michelle thought her twelve-pound weight loss "didn't count" because it wasn't as dramatic as the transformations she saw online? That journey from comparison to confidence is exactly what we're exploring. I'm breaking down the science of social comparison and giving you practical tools to celebrate your unique path. Because here's what I believe - your journey doesn't need to look like anyone else's to be valid.
