You’re excited. You share your win. And then… they swoop in with a bigger, better, or totally unrelated story that steals the spotlight. Sound familiar?
In this episode of Anxiety Makes Me Poop, Meredith unpacks why some people constantly one-up you, whether it’s a co-worker, partner, or friend and how it affects our mood and sense of connection.
You’ll discover the science behind “story topping” and learn the C.A.K.E. method to keep your joy front and center:
C — Celebrate yourself first
A — Adjust your expectations
K — Keep mental boundaries
E — Engage with the right audience
