One of the things that I absolutely love about the summertime is going to the beach. And whenever I go to the beach, I will catch myself looking around and seeing some other women and their cute little swimsuits and thinking, "Oh, well, I don't look as good as she doesn't my swimsuit." Or "I wish I could wear a swimsuit like that, but my stomach would look terrible in that."  Then I start going down this rabbit hole of comparing my body to everyone else's. And you've probably been there and have gotten into this comparison trap, especially when it comes to your bodies. But I want you to know, first of all, that you're not alone. Today, I'm going to share with you some tips on how we can do better about this comparison game with my guest. We are breaking down some of the ways that we can escape the body comparison trap this summer. So if you're like me, and you want to do better about this comparison trap, stay tuned to this episode.
