It is said that comparison is the thief of joy, robbing us of our confidence and self-esteem. Nowhere is that more apparent than in today’s world where we are bombarded with social media feeds carefully curated to show us how every woman we know (and some we don’t) is living her best, happiest, and most successful life–#blessed. With lattes in their hands and Louboutins on their feet, these women make the daily grind look effortless.

In this article, Bonnie and Andrea present 5 steps to living your best life and get out of the habit of comparison.
