And we, up on the chopping block today, girlies, we have episode three out of four for our friendship series.

And we are coming in hot today, talking about jealousy and comparison with your friendships.

First thing I want to say before I talk about the permission slip stuff is comparing yourself to other people is normal, right?

I want to normalize that because it is a normal part of being a human.

We compare ourselves naturally to people to figure out where it is that we belong in society.

Okay.

So first and foremost, it's a normal thing.

I don't want you guys listening to this being like, oh my God, I'm in like this comparison hole and I can't get out of it.

And I feel like shame and guilt around that.

It is a normal experience.

We've all experienced it before.

A hundred percent.

I used to compare myself to people on the internet who had bigger businesses than me being like, not from a place of jealousy, but being like, would I ever be able to do that?

Like, oh my God, they've been working so hard and they've got this and I don't have that and blah, blah, blah.

However, you need to, and this is what honestly changed my life in moving out of that comparison mindset into more of a...

I guess, permission slip mindset is actually looking at what other people are doing through the lens of, if she can do it, so can I. All that means is that if she can grow on social media, I can do it.

If she can run a business...

I can do it.

If she can get fit, I can do it.

Because at the end of the day, there's really nothing special between you and the person that you're potentially comparing yourself to.
