When your success rides on standing out, it can be SO EASY to start comparing yourself to people around you that are doing what you do. In this episode I have a little pep talk (one I really needed to hear myself) about why comparing ourselves to others is super unhelpful, why we shouldn't think of our idols as intimidation, and how to love what you do!
