Morgan and Chris take on the midlife struggle with comparison, exploring how it shows up in careers, parenting, relationships, and personal growth. In a world where social media fuels self-doubt, they share personal stories about recognizing comparison, its impact, and how they manage it.

But comparison doesn’t just steal joy—it weakens connection and stifles creativity. The hosts discuss how this mindset can be unconsciously passed down to our kids, keep us chasing external validation, and prevent us from embracing our authentic selves.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, Morgan and Chris open up about their own experiences and how they work through comparison in everyday life. The big takeaway? Letting go of comparison isn’t just freeing—it allows you (and everyone around you) to shine.
