Have you ever apologized for simply existing as you are? In this episode, I share a personal story about nearly forgetting lunch with my daughter—and showing up just as I was, in workout clothes and no makeup. I also talk about my neighbor who felt the need to apologize for being in PJs while borrowing butter. Why do we compare our ‘done-up’ selves to our natural state and judge one as less worthy?

#19 - The Problem with Pretty: Why We Need Better Compliments
We compliment girls and women on their looks without thinking—it's automatic. But what if our words are fueling comparison, objectification, and insecurity? In this episode, we challenge the habit of body-focused compliments and explore how praising skills, talents, and character instead can build confidence and self-worth. Let’s shift the conversation and start seeing people for who they are, not just how they look.

In short 10-15 minute episodes, we’ll explore how to recognize the harmful comparisons we engage in and come to understand the negative impacts they can have on our lives, relationships, self-worth, and happiness. We’ll discuss how to intentionally choose to replace comparative thoughts and actions by shifting your focus to appreciation for others, being inspired to try new things, and learning to more fully recognize your own talents and strengths. Life becomes beautiful when we embrace the power of growth, self-discovery, and personal fulfillment.
Released every Thursday, these bite-sized episodes are designed to help you reclaim your confidence, stop the cycle of comparison, and start living a happy life free of vanity and bitterness.
