In this episode of Fulfilled, we explore how to shift comparison from a source of stress into a catalyst for growth. In a world shaped by social media, comparison is inevitable—but it doesn’t have to be harmful.
Camille breaks down the science behind why we compare, how to spot when it’s turning toxic, and what to do instead. You'll learn how to turn envy into insight, admire others without losing your sense of self, and use comparison to reflect on your values, progress, and purpose.
