Does comparison steal your joy and keep you from fully walking in your purpose?

With 24/7 social media access to everyone’s highlight reels, it’s no wonder so many of us struggle with comparing ourselves to others. If you have struggled with comparison, if it’s kept you from living fully in your God-given purpose, if you feel stuck every time you open Instagram and see what everyone else is building, creating, or doing, today’s episode is full of hope just for you!

IF YOU’VE EVER WONDERED HOW TO LET GO OF COMPARISON, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!

My guest Heather Creekmore shares from her personal experience battling body image and comparison. Her message will not only help you identify the motivation behind your comparison temptation (it may not be what you think!) but also lead you to truth that will help you get free from comparison in your daily life.

She is no stranger to comparison, and God has been using this struggle as part of her God-shaped dream to help women stop comparing and start living!

We’re also talking about:

How easily the ideals we hold onto can become disruptive idols in our hearts,
A simple activity to help determine where you’re most likely to cave in to comparison, and
How to look at the “competition” and see something other than a threat.
