In this episode of God-Sized Dreams, Melissa Batt shares a vulnerable story about hitting a big milestone—10,000 podcast downloads—and how, instead of joy, her first reaction was shame and comparison.

Melissa reflects on how pride and perfectionism can sneak in disguised as humility and why gratitude is the key to staying in your lane.
