Why does it feel like we’re always trying to keep up? In this episode, I sit down with Ruchika Malhotra, author of Uncompete, to talk about how competition shows up for women—and how it can quietly create a sense of scarcity, impact our confidence, and shape the way we think about success and money. We also explore what shifts when we move toward a more collaborative mindset, and how that can change the way we show up in our work and lives. In this episode, we cover: Competition, comparison, and scarcity The link between self-worth and success How this impacts money decisions Moving from competition to collaboration Connect with Ruchika: Book: Uncompete – Rejecting Competition to Unlock Success Website: https://uncompetebook.com LinkedIn: Search “Ruchika Malhotra” for her latest work and newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you loved this episode, please take a moment to follow, rate, or review Money Isn’t Scary — it helps more women find these much-needed conversations.
