    Comparison Is Stealing Your Confidence

    What’s the difference between genuine confidence and confidence that comes from your ego? In this episode of Sincerely, Self, Lexi dives into the difference between ego-based confidence and real, grounded confidence—and how comparison can secretly influence the way we see ourselves. From comparing your appearance, accomplishments, and success to other people, to comparing yourself to your partner’s past relationships, it can be easy to fall into the trap of believing that someone else’s success somehow says something about your own worth. Lexi talks about how comparison can either inflate your ego or completely diminish your self-esteem, and why neither one creates genuine confidence. She also shares a mindset shift that has helped her personally: instead of comparing yourself to other people, compare yourself to who you used to be. Look at how far you’ve come, how you’ve grown, and who you are becoming. This episode is also a reminder that self-growth doesn’t mean you’ll never have a negative thought, feel jealous, or compare yourself again. Growth is learning to recognize those thoughts, become aware of them, and choose how you respond.

    Who Are You When Everything Changes?

    After a two-month break, Lexi is officially back on Sincerely, Self—and there’s a lot to catch up on. 💌 From getting married and starting a new job to stepping away from the podcast and navigating a personal mental rut, Lexi opens up about what the past few months have taught her about identity, growth, self-love, intuition, and becoming more present. In this special three-year anniversary episode, Lexi reflects on one of the biggest lessons behind Sincerely, Self: self-love and self-acceptance are the roots of success. She talks about what happens when we tie our identity to our careers, relationships, achievements, or other external things—and how easily we can lose our sense of self when those things change. She also gets real about the fact that healing isn’t linear. Sometimes the same triggers, emotions, and patterns we’ve worked so hard to heal can show up again. But that doesn’t mean the healing didn’t work. Sometimes growth looks like simply becoming aware of the pattern and choosing to respond differently the next time. Lexi also opens up about her journey of becoming more connected to her intuition, exploring her relationship with God and spirituality, spending more time in nature, and figuring out what feels authentic to her outside of other people’s expectations. And as she enters year three of Sincerely, Self, Lexi shares what she hopes this next chapter will look like—and why she wants to prioritize being completely in tune with herself. If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected from yourself, or like you’re becoming a completely different version of who you used to be, this episode is for you. 🤍 Welcome back to Sincerely, Self. Here’s to year three. 🥂
