Episode Description
Do you suffer from Comparisonitis?
In this powerful episode of the Mama Work It podcast, we dive into one of the sneakiest sources of stress and self-doubt for moms: comparison. From social media highlight reels to milestone pressure, it’s easy to feel like you’re “behind” or “not enough.”
But Mama — your journey is allowed to look different.
In today’s conversation, we unpack:
- Why comparison is such a natural part of motherhood
- How social media amplifies insecurity (and how to take back control)
- What it means to honor the season you’re in
- Mindset and practical tools to shift out of comparison mode
- How your relationship with comparison impacts your kids
- A grounding, guided reframe to help you reconnect to your own path
This episode is your reminder that growth has no timeline — and you can release the pressure to compete with anyone else’s life but your own.
Key Takeaways:
- Comparison isn’t a character flaw — it’s a habit you can break.
- Curate your inputs: protect your mental health on social media.
- Honor your season — you are not meant to grow at the same pace as everyone else.
- Use tools like:
- “That’s for her, this is for me.”
- Shifting from comparison to curiosity.
- Celebrating small victories daily.
- Your kids learn confidence from watching you break comparison cycles.
