Episode 213 (RE-RELEASE): Is Comparison Killing Your Creativity?


Ever find yourself scrolling social media and suddenly feeling like a complete failure? In this fan-favourite episode, Ish and Sacha dive into why comparison can either fuel your fire or completely extinguish it! Get ready for some straight talk about why your Instagram envy might be holding back your best ideas.

Main Topics

  • The Celebration Switch -- How to transform your social media doom-scrolling from comparison to celebration 
  • The Confidence Paradox -- Sacha explains her brilliant theory about being "confident at being incompetent" and why being comfortable with being wrong might be your secret superpower
  • 5% vs 100% -- Why you're comparing your messy behind-the-scenes with someone else's highlight reel (and Roger Federer's surprising 54% statistic that proves even legends fail constantly)


PS: Sacha shows up after a facial treatment involving "hundreds of thousands of tiny needles" that left her looking "like she's been near a nuclear reactor." Meanwhile, Ish recommends "Renegade Nell" on Disney+ where Nick Mohammad from Ted Lasso plays... a fairy who gives people superpowers?!
