Social Media Comparison for Artists: Escape the Spiral

You’re feeling good after a great audition or lesson and then you open your phone and see someone from your undergrad program just booked a huge role. Suddenly you’re spiraling, wondering if you’ll ever get there. In this episode, Sophie breaks down the psychology of upward comparison and the spotlight effect: Why social media comparison hits so hard, and why so many performers hesitate to post their own work out of fear of judgment.

Plus, a guided reset for the next time you’re triggered by someone else’s highlight reel, or afraid to share your own work online.

Perfect episode for actors, singers, and musicians ready to stop letting a post decide how they feel about their talent.
