In the society we live in, sometimes being a “highly sensitive person” can have a negative connotation. They’re ridiculed. They’re told that being sensitive is a bad thing.

So this week, I’m joined on the podcast by my good friend and co-coach Amber Gordon for a conversion all about reframing our perception of comparison. Like ...
