In this episode, we explore how negative self-talk, comparison, and perfectionism can damage your sense of self-worth. You’ll learn why comparing yourself to unrealistic standards leads to frustration and how societal pressures, including the self-help industry, often fuel this cycle. Instead of chasing unattainable ideals, we’ll dive into how you can embrace a God-centered identity and develop self-compassion. I’ll also share practical steps to break free from comparison, find contentment, and recognize your true worth in Christ.
