In this episode of the Sky Podcast, the hosts discuss a relatable letter from a listener who feels overwhelmed by unspoken expectations from their family regarding academic success. The listener compares themselves to their high-achieving brother and cousin, which leads to feelings of inadequacy as they approach the decision of what college course to pursue.

The hosts reflect on their own experiences with parental expectations and societal pressures, acknowledging how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing oneself to others, especially in the age of social media. They emphasize the importance of recognizing one’s own unique path and the value of self-acceptance, encouraging listeners to focus on their personal goals rather than the achievements of others.
