Meet Jordan

“I’m Caught in the Comparison Spiral. I Know Better, But I Still Feel ‘Not Enough.’”

Tia is a 30-year-old black and filipina woman, working remotely as a content creator. She loves dancing in her living room, thrifting unique fashion pieces, and journaling with her plants nearby.

But her work keeps her immersed in media, and constant exposure to filtered, “before-and-after” culture leaves her comparing herself against impossible standards. She skips meals when deadlines pile up, then feels out of control later. Tia knows in her head that worth isn’t about appearance — but living it in her body feels like another story.

Tia’s Journey

From Comparison to Curated Confidence

Tia didn’t need another lecture about self-love. What she needed was a strategy to curate her environment and a way to reconnect with her cultural values — creativity, resilience, and community — on her own terms.

At first, she feared changing her habits would mean disconnecting from her career or culture. Instead, she discovered that reclaiming her media and food rhythms gave her more creativity, more energy, and more joy.

What she was really looking for was:

  • Media hygiene tools that created space from constant comparison

  • Food rhythms that gave her stability and energy without rigidity

  • Self-compassion practices that went deeper than “just be kind to yourself”

  • A community lens that honored both her cultural background and her creative spirit

The Breakthrough

Body Image Resilience & Boundaries

For Tia, the change came when she began treating her mental diet like her food diet — intentionally curating what she consumed and grounding herself in practices that honored her whole identity.

That looked like:

  • Completing a 7-day media hygiene challenge to refresh her feed

  • Building scaffolded meal rhythms with snack pairings for satiety

  • Practicing daily 3-minute compassion resets with journaling

  • Joining group chats with like-minded peers for accountability and belonging

What Changed for Tia

With this new approach, Tia could:

  • Scroll without spiraling into comparison

  • Feel creative energy flowing back into her work

  • Establish meal stability for the first time in years

  • Internalize worth from within — no likes, no numbers, no scale required

The result? A stronger relationship with herself, her work, and her body — rooted in resilience, not restriction.
