In this refreshingly honest session, I open up to Dr. Joy about a familiar yet uncomfortable truth: comparison culture is real — and exhausting. After a chat with colleagues turned into a quiet mental spiral of “why them and not me?”, I started unpacking the emotional toll of constantly measuring my worth against someone else’s highlight reel.
Dr. Joy introduces me to Killing Comparison by Nona Jones, and let’s just say… I’ve been humbled. Inspired. And hugged (emotionally, of course).
🌱 In this episode, we explore:
The difference between healthy vs. toxic comparison
How competition-mode thinking robs you of energy and clarity
Why inspiration is better than imitation when it comes to peers’ success
The role insecurity plays in comparison culture
How to water your own grass instead of envying someone else’s lawn
If you've ever found yourself chasing someone else’s success while doubting your own — this one’s for you.
Inspired by the game-changing book "Killing Comparison” written by international speaker, preacher, author, and the head of global faith-based partnerships at Facebook — Nona Jones. Thank you for courageously sharing your story and illuminating the path to liberation from toxic comparison!
What’s one comparison you’re ready to release for the sake of your peace?
