The Thick Pod

Episode 41: The Comparison Trap (and Why We’re Crawling Out of It Together)

Michelle York & Kelsey Martinez Episode 41

In this episode of The Thick Pod with Michelle and Kelsey, we kick things off with our usual kid chaos stories and unfiltered banter while literally FaceTiming —but then we go deep. We’re talking about comparison: how it creeps in, how it messes with your joy, and why even the most secure person can feel shaken in this industry. From brand deals to view counts, social media has a way of turning everything into a scoreboard—and we’re over it. We share our honest experiences navigating those messy emotions, how competition between women can get complicated, and why our friendship is the anchor that keeps us grounded. If you’ve ever looked at someone else and questioned your own worth, this one’s for you. You’re doing better than you think. Let’s talk about it.
