Voiced by Mel Chanté. Written by Tiana Brawley, M.S.W. Takeaways: 1- It’s human to play the comparison game when it comes to our goals and progress—but we can show ourselves compassion by celebrating our own unique path. 2- You are the driver to your own destination. 3- Take time to celebrate all your wins—big and small.
