Overcoming COMPARISON: NON-OBVIOUS Tactics That Have Helped Us | Ep. 14

Let's Unpack That with Alex & Grace | Christian Life Coaching, Spiritual Growth, Holistic Wellness, Faith-Based Wisdom

Comparison can be a silent thief, robbing us of joy, contentment, and SO much more.
In this episode, we dive into the complexities and nuances of comparison, sharing our own raw and honest (and ongoing) experiences with it - and what has been most helpful to us in overcoming it.
Join us as we explore the hidden ways that comparison seeps into our lives, affecting us in ways we often don't even realize... including our faith, relationships, and identity.
We pray that these unconventional tactics (that most people don't talk about) and our personal examples and stories empower you to break free from the comparison trap... and confidently become the person God's made you to be, and powerfully live out the unique purpose he's called you to fulfill!
