In today’s episode of 3D Authenticity, we’re diving into one of the most common obstacles to self-trust and authenticity: comparison. Whether it shows up in your creative life, your relationships, your appearance, or your timeline, comparison has a way of quietly eroding your confidence and disconnecting you from your values.
We’ll explore how the brain fills in gaps with fantasy (often to our own detriment), why comparison hijacks clarity, and how to practice what I call “unfollowing the fantasy.” I’ll walk you through three powerful practices to come home to yourself when comparison strikes, including one deceptively simple journaling prompt that can shift everything.
This episode is full of insight based in somatic practices and neuroscience and it closes with a series of tangible tools to help you build a new relationship with comparison.
In this episode, Jennifer covers:
✅ Why comparison is a normal brain function and how it gets distorted
✅ How our minds use imagination and bias to create false stories about other people’s lives.
✅ The true cost of comparison through the lens of authenticity
✅ What it means to “unfollow the fantasy”
✅ Three core practices to help you return to your own truth.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
