We’re hitting episode 74 on the pod with an amazing guest on a topic I know most, if not all, female entrepreneurs have experienced at some stage of their journey. I'm talking about that sneaky feeling of comparison that can crop up when we least expect it as we see others living their best lives (and their best businesses!) online.
But never fear because I have the best expert on comparison IN THE WORLD on the podcast today and I’m very excited for her to get stuck into how to help you stop those feelings of comparison to others.
