Summary
The other day I was scrolling through some podcasts and was thrown off a bit. In front of my eyes was something quite familiar. It was a podcast cover that is almost identical to my very own. Now I’m of the belief that everything’s been done before and most things are variations of something that already exists, but it still appeared to be a blatant copy. Nevertheless, I tried to let it go. Sometime after, I hop on Instagram only to scroll across a post that looks exactly like mine. Come to find out it’s the exact same person! Now this is no coincidence. I’m not going to lie, I was triggered. After re-framing the incident I came to see just how blessed I am. Listen to find out why.
