    96. COMPARISON DESTROYS YOU

    HEY REHABBERS: Comparisonitis is the thief of joy, and it’s keeping so many of us stuck, frustrated, and feeling less-than. In this episode, we’re digging deep into the hidden ways comparison holds you back and giving you five powerful, uncommon truths to break free. This isn’t just about stopping the habit of comparing yourself to others—it’s about reclaiming your peace, building confidence, and defining success on your terms. If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind in life, like everyone else has it figured out while you’re still struggling, this episode is for you. It’s time to honor your path, trust your timing, and let go of the weight of comparison. Let’s make 2025 the year you step fully into your power. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 1️⃣ Stop Competing With Their Starting Line Why comparing your progress to someone else’s circumstances is a race you’ll never win. The truth about why your path might be harder—and how that’s connected to your purpose. 2️⃣ Ask Yourself: What Am I Really Jealous Of? How envy reveals the parts of yourself you’re neglecting and how to turn that into growth instead of self-doubt. The difference between wanting what they have and wanting what it means. 3️⃣ Take Inventory of Your Inputs How social media and daily habits shape your confidence and fuel comparison. The power of curating what you consume to build clarity and focus. 4️⃣ Stop Comparing Seasons—They’re Not Supposed to Look the Same Understanding the importance of honoring your current season, whether you’re planting, growing, or harvesting. Why rushing the process always leads to frustration and burnout. 5️⃣ Ask Yourself: Is This Even What I Want? How comparison tricks you into chasing dreams that aren’t yours. The importance of defining success on your terms, not society’s. Memorable Quotes from the Episode: "Your path is harder because your purpose is greater. Keep running your race." "Jealousy isn’t about them—it’s about the parts of yourself you’re neglecting." "Don’t rush your season. What’s meant to bloom will, in its time." "Stop chasing someone else’s dreams. Define your success, and stay true to it." Actionable Takeaways: Write down three accomplishments you’re proud of, no matter how small. Use them as proof of your resilience. Audit your social media feed—unfollow any account that triggers comparison and replace it with one that inspires you. Reflect on your current season: Are you planting, growing, or harvesting? Honor where you are and set realistic goals for what’s next. Define what success looks like for you—not what looks good to others, but what feels right for your life. Call to Action: If this episode hit home for you, share it with someone who needs to hear these truths.

    89. DETECT FAKE FRIENDS

    HEY REHABBERS: In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into something that every single one of us has faced at some point—fake friends. You know what I’m talking about—the people who are there when it’s convenient but vanish when you really need them. We’re going to get real about how to spot these people, why they act this way, and how to protect your energy from getting drained by relationships that aren’t genuine. Because at the end of the day, your peace is priceless, and who you allow into your inner circle matters. I’m sharing personal experiences, hard lessons I’ve learned, and practical tools to help you figure out who’s really for you and who’s just around for what you can give them. Real situations always expose fake people, so it’s time to learn how to recognize the signs before they damage your peace, your mental health, and your life. Key Takeaways: The Emotional Toll of Fake Friends Fake friends aren’t just inconvenient—they can be emotionally exhausting. We’re talking about how fake friendships drain your energy, raise your anxiety, and mess with your mental health. I’ll share how these so-called friendships can pull you down and why you need to be intentional about the people you keep around. Warning Signs of a Fake Friend Fake friends show up in different ways. They might only call when they need something or they disappear when you’re going through tough times. If someone is always negative when you win or talks behind your back, that’s a red flag. We’ll break down the subtle and not-so-subtle signs that someone is faking loyalty. Psychology Behind Fake Behavior Why do people act fake? It often comes down to insecurity, jealousy, or fear of being alone. Some people keep you around because it benefits them, not because they value who you are. I’m breaking down the psychology of fake friendships and why people show up this way in your life. Setting Boundaries & Protecting Your Peace You don’t have to feel guilty for walking away from people who don’t have your best interest at heart. I’m giving you the tools to set boundaries, tune into your intuition, and protect your peace. We’ll talk about why it’s okay to outgrow people and how to make space for the ones who lift you up. Letting Go of Fake Friends Gracefully Letting go doesn’t have to be messy. It’s not about drama—it’s about protecting your energy and moving on with grace. I’ll share how you can distance yourself from fake friends without holding onto bitterness and how to heal after cutting those ties. Quotes: "Fake people don’t surprise me anymore—loyal people do. If someone’s only around when things are good, they aren’t your friend." "Longevity doesn’t equal loyalty. Just because someone’s been in your life for a long time doesn’t mean they deserve a spot in your future." "Stop giving access to your heart to people who only see you as an opportunity. Real friends love you for who you are, not what they can get from you." "Protect your peace by setting boundaries. You can’t build with someone who’s inconsistent or who doesn’t respect your limits." "When you let go of fake friends, you make space for the real ones. Trust me, the right people will show up when you start protecting your energy." Call to Action: After listening to this episode, take some time to reflect on the people in your life. Who are the ones who genuinely have your back? Who are the ones draining your energy? Don’t be afraid to set boundaries and protect your peace. If you’re ready to let go of fake friendships and create more space for the real ones, this is your sign to start today. If this episode hit home for you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And as always, protect your peace and stay true to yourself. Let’s keep building the life and relationships we deserve.
