   comparison is the thief of joy (feat. kate garnes)

   in this episode, i am joined by motivational speaker kate garnes who ultimately discusses important things including surrounding yourself with the right people and acknowledging the double-edged nature of social media. for adolescents in this current time period, it can be extremely hard to stick to your true beliefs and feel noticed, but i hope this episode helps with any doubt you might be feeling as the days until school start to lessen.
