Do You Ever Compare Pain?

Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore

Have you ever felt guilty for being upset because someone else has it worse? What if I told you that comparing struggles is as irrational as comparing joys? On today's episode I tackle the concept of the "hierarchy of suffering," inspired by my recent Instagram reel and the wisdom of therapist Lori Gottlieb. This episode is a compassionate exploration of why every emotion you experience, no matter how seemingly small, is valid and worthy of acknowledgment. By flipping the script on how we view our pain versus others', I emphasize that your feelings are real and deserve to be felt, without comparison or judgment.
