Description

We’re only in the first quarter of your journey — so why are you comparing your progress to someone who’s already in their fourth?

In this episode, I break down the real reason comparison steals our joy and stalls our growth. Whether it’s fitness, career, mental health, or personal development, too many of us look at someone else’s highlight reel and assume we’re falling behind… when really, we’re just early in the game.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize when comparison is sabotaging your mindset
  • Reclaim your own pace and your own timeline
  • Stay focused on your “field,” not everyone else’s
  • Build momentum quarter by quarter instead of trying to win the whole game on day one

HOWEVER - we will also dive into when comparison can actually HELP you move forward, how other people can be examples for how you want to show up! 

It's all perspective! 

This is your reminder: you’re not behind — you’re just getting started. And there’s a lot of football left to play. Let’s get after it.
