Leaving-CrazyTown talks about codependency at the sober curator

In the latest episode of “Leaving CrazyTown,” hosts Sarah and Finn delve into a thought-provoking discussion on the harmful effects of comparison. The duo explores how the habit of comparing oneself to others can be a joy killer, leading to a spiral of negative emotions and dissatisfaction. They shed light on the common human tendency to look at other people’s seemingly perfect lives, especially on social media, and feel inadequate or inferior. However, they remind viewers of the crucial fact that what we see on the outside is often a carefully curated facade, which should never be compared with our inner realities.

Sarah and Finn also provide listeners with valuable tools to combat feelings of inadequacy brought on by comparison. They emphasize the importance of self-love and acceptance, encouraging viewers to focus on their own journey rather than getting lost in others’. The episode is filled with relatable examples that illustrate how comparison can rob us of our joy, making it a must-watch for anyone struggling with this issue. Remember, it’s easy to think others have it all together when we’re only seeing their highlights. But don’t let this illusion trick you into comparing your behind-the-scenes with someone else’s showreel. Tune in to this episode of “Leaving CrazyTown” for an insightful conversation on overcoming the comparison trap.
