This is a Fan Fav episode. Ever found yourself spiraling into a cycle of comparison that leaves your confidence in tatters? You’re not alone, homie. In this episode, I (Lisa) sit down with the amazing Melissa Ambrosini for an unfiltered conversation on “comparisonitis,” that self-destructive habit we all struggle with. Melissa doesn’t just bring empathy and her own raw stories—from harrowing moments as a dancer to her challenges with motherhood—she drops a tactical, four-step ACES framework to interrupt the self-comparison spiral. Together, we get radically real on body image, self-sabotage, social media triggers, breaking generational cycles, and modeling self-love for our kids. If you’re desperate for practical steps to finally stop comparing and start thriving as the best version of YOU, this is your antidote.
