Hey Tribe, welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe—and today’s episode? Oh, it’s a juicy one. We’re talking comparison—the thief of joy, peace, and probably your last shred of self-esteem after three hours of doom scrolling. You know the drill: someone on Instagram’s out there juicing kale, glowing like a seraphim, running a 5K, and somehow managing to look “effortlessly undone.” Meanwhile, you’re horizontal with a heating pad, contemplating dry shampoo as self-care. And suddenly, you’re in the spiral: Why can’t I be more like her?Here’s the thing—comparison doesn’t motivate us; it erodes us. Especially when you’re living with chronic illness. You’re not just comparing aesthetics; you’re comparing capacity. Your body is literally fighting battles someone else doesn’t even have. And yet, you still feel like you’re losing a race that was never fair to begin with. We’re breaking it all down: why our brains are wired for comparison (thanks, dopamine), how it triggers stress hormones like cortisol (hello, inflammation and pain), and why Scripture had it right all along—“envy rots the bones.” Literally.This episode isn’t about guilt—it’s about grace. We’re calling out the fake filters, the hustle illusions, and the silent shame that says you’re “behind.” Because you’re not behind—you’re healing, surviving, and showing up in a world that demands performance over peace. So grab your coffee—or your heating pad—and tune in. Let’s unsubscribe from the comparison trap once and for all. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
