Your Perfect Exterior is a Mask:

Why You Might Be Quietly Unhappy

👇 Does this sound anything like you? 👇


You do everything right. Perfect grades. Leadership roles. Volunteer work. Solid social life.

Always smiling and looking put togehter.

The whole package.

So why do you feel like you're drowning in anxiety?

The internal pressure to achieve even more while never feeling good enough.

The fear that one wrong move will make it all crash

to the ground.

The constant exhaustion that you carefully

hide from others.

The smile you put on when everyone asks how you're doing.

And that irritating voice in your head that says:

"Am I good enough?" "What if I fail?" "Why can't I just be happy and grateful with all I've achieved?"

Late at night, when the perfectionist mask comes off, the truth emerges.

You're tired. Very tired. Of pretending you have it all together and all figured out.

Of feeling like no one really sees the struggle beneath your success. It takes so much work to be you.

Of being the "perfect" daughter, student, friend, sister...while your anxiety silently spirals.

Your parents mean well, but they don't really get it.

"You have so much to be grateful for! Why are you so stressed? Just breathe!"

Your friends are either competing with you or complaining about their own drama.

Your professors see your effort, not your worth. Your smile fools them.

And your love life? It's non-existent, OR you're in a serious relationship that isn't really what you want and you secretly wish you weren't so tied down.

You're left feeling alone in a room full of people who think you've got it all.

The exhaustion. The overthinking. The perfectionism.

The fear.

If this feels familiar, then you've landed in the right place, you precious girl.

Sweet girl, you don't have to struggle in silence anymore.

I'm here to support you, listen to you, and give you ready-to-use strategies during each session to make your life easier.

It's not about being perfect; it's about learning to love yourself and to rely on yourself (you are amazing and capable and I'll prove that to you until you believe it).

It's time to break free from your negative spirals, and I'll teach you exactly how.

Click below and schedule your free mini session: it's time to feel calm and in control!

Life Isn't Fair: Comparison Will Drive You Crazy (if you let it)

February 28, 20255 min read

It’s not fair that she has clearer skin than you, or gets better grades than you, or runs faster than you, or has more money than you, or has the cutest boyfriend. 

It’s not fair.

Today, I’m going to tell you how to FEEL BETTER about life not being fair and also how to stop yourself from spiraling into the depths of comparison.  

Here’s the thing, when we think things are unfair, we are comparing ourselves to somebody else who has something we don’t, and that leads to jealousy (which makes you feel angry, not good enough, and usually steals your joy).

It’s normal to be jealous of someone when you compare yourself to them.

When you focus on being jealous and obsess over how unfair life is, you are literally torturing yourself. Some of the side effects are low motivation, negative self-talk, and exhaustion.

The first step is (and this one is pretty harsh, so buckle up butter cup):

Get Over It, Sis.

Let them have their thing.

Accept that life isn’t fair. It actually makes your life easier when you accept it.

This next part will make you feel better, promise. 

What I’m going to tell you next will CHANGE EVERYTHING for you if you’re always stuck in comparison

🌟 It’s like magic. 

There are two types of comparison, comparison that either:

1. TORTURES you, or 

2. TEACHES you.

You begin this process by asking yourself: What am I doing when I compare?

Am I torturing myself, or

is this teaching me something valuable?

The torture type of comparison is triggered by other people who have: natural talents, fast metabolism, athleticism, trust funds, etc.  

Is it unfair that people have these things and you don’t? Heck yes. 

Is there anything you can do to change these things? Heck no.

When you obsess over this whilst scrolling through their perfectly curated social media posts, you are draining your energy and zapping your motivation.

You are torturing yourself because you are obsessing over something that you cannot have.

You’ll never have it, so stop making yourself miserable.

quote from Mel Robbins

The second type of comparison is teaching you something. 

In opposition to the torture type of comparison, which makes you green with envy, this type of comparison lights a fire under your cute little booty and gets you moving in an actionable direction.

When you compare yourself to someone, you are recognizing something in YOU that YOU can achieve! It’s really eye-opening to look at it this way.

For example, if I am suffering from a lack of motivation and am just not able to complete my assignments on time, I might come across a girl online whose social media page boasts her studying techniques. 

She appears motivated, satisfied, and clearly finished her work because she has adopted effective study habits (which she shares and it gets thousands of likes, ugh). 

I am comparing myself to her, and I am initially jealous because I am annoyed that she is doing the things I should be doing. 

THIS IS THE SPECIAL SAUCE, PEOPLE! 

This annoyance is irritating because I know that I am absolutely capable of doing what she’s doing and could easily adopt these strategies to get my work done. 

THIS is a thing I have the absolute power to change!

So, instead of wallowing and torturing myself, I use my irritation (which started as comparison) to motivate me to LEARN directly from this girl’s playbook

She is giving me the blueprint for success! 

When we use comparison to learn, we are opening so many doors for ourselves.

We recognize the potential of ourselves in others. 

It’s presenting a mirror image of what we are capable of doing, if we choose to learn instead of feel tortured

cat looking in mirror and seeing tiger

We just have to do the work, do the thing, get started: and, why not begin feeling already ahead by using the exact formula that she is putting right in your face? 

This view of comparison blew my mind.

Comparison is natural and we all do it. So, instead of torturing ourselves trying to change things we can’t (perfect bodies, etc.), we have to LET THEM have perfectly proportioned bodies. 

That’s not what we can control. Don’t torture yourself anymore.

What we CAN control gives us the choice to LEARN from comparison. 

Honestly, I’ve learned 90% of what I know about social media from following people I admire and doing what they do (of course, I put my own spices and words into it, but they handed me the formula for success!). Why would I re-invent the wheel when the pattern is laid out in front of me?

I hope you try this mindblowing hack. 

I talk to girls every single day who are suffering from comparison. Instead of suffering and torturing yourself, let go of what cannot happen.

Embrace what CAN happen by choosing to LEARN. 


Side Note: I learned this entire and amazing new thought process around comparison from the book The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. Giving her full props. I've summarized her work and added my own stuff--you see, I LEARNED from her and shared her amazing insights with my audience instead of being jealous that she came up with it and I didn't.
