Summary
Jake and I catch up on life and our ongoing messiness at home before getting into a really honest conversation. I talk about seeing other podcasts share huge numbers and noticing my own growth has slowed, and how hard it has been not to compare myself. I also share what success feels like to me right now and how I am trying to build a career that still feels good even when the numbers get in my head. We also unpack a recent clip that went viral in a negative way and how it made me question what kind of content I want to make.
