  <title>Unframed 2: The Comparison Trap: When to Look — and When to Look Away</title>
  <description>We’ve all done it, a quick scroll turns into a spiral. Someone else is making more, selling more, getting that gallery show or grant… and suddenly, your own progress feels like it doesn’t count. In this episode of Unframed, I’m taking a look into the spiky topic of comparison: - When it can actually help your creative practice - When it starts to undermine your confidence - And how to set your own pace without getting pulled off course As a gallery owner and coach, I see this come up all the time - perhaps especially for artists and makers who are returning to creativity later in life or growing a practice alongside other demands. And I’ve felt it too. Comparison can be motivating, but only when you’re clear about what you’re looking for. In this chat, I share some ways to be more intentional with what you absorb, how to choose a healthy ‘pace-setter,’ and why your timeline doesn’t need to match anyone else’s. Whether you’re feeling inspired or overwhelmed, I hope this helps you find your footing again. You can find out more about me at elainedye.com and my gallery at thebyregallery.co.uk </description>
