23. Are You Struggling? You're Not Alone

Life's a Tripp

Are you struggling? You’re not alone.

Dear friend - the reality is - everyone struggles. We all face adversity in life, but it’s how we respond to it that sets us up for success. It is in life's greatest challenges that we discover our true strength and resilience.

Someone in our online community recently reached out to us and asked, ‘Do you ever struggle?’. It is important to remember that you are just seeing others’ ‘highlight reels’ on social media. When we engage in constant comparison, we often measure ourselves against unrealistic standards. People tend to showcase their best moments, highlight reels, and successes on social media. This can create an illusion that everyone else is leading a perfect and joyful life while our own lives fall short.

In this episode, we are touching on struggles and ways that we can be intentional about how we get through these rough times. We share about finding someone to talk to, leaning into our struggles, and changing our perspective.

It is often in times of struggle that we learn some of life’s greatest lessons. So, no matter where you are today or what is going on in your life - we want to encourage you. You are not alone, sweet friend.
