If scrolling on social media ever makes you feel like you’re behind in life, this episode is for you, bestie 😭 In this episode of Social Media Tea, we’re talking about comparison especially the kind that happens when you see creators winning online and realize they started way before you. From viral posts to brand deals and big milestones, it’s easy to feel discouraged and question your own journey. I’m spilling the tea on why comparing yourself to other creators is holding you back, how social media distorts timelines, and what to do instead so you can focus on your own growth with confidence. We’ll talk mindset shifts, practical ways to protect your mental health online, and how to stay consistent without burning out or losing your self-belief. If you’re a creator, business owner, freelancer, or social media manager struggling with comparison, self-doubt, or feeling “late,” this episode will help you reset, refocus, and feel good about where you are right now. Because you’re not behind — you’re building. 🎧 New episodes of Social Media Tea drop every other Wednesday.
