#19 Comparison: It's More Than Just The Thief Of Joy!

In today’s episode of She is Courageous Podcast, we get into the universal challenge of comparison. Whether it’s scrolling through social media or watching someone else’s highlight reel, comparison can leave you feeling inadequate, questioning your choices, and even doubting your identity.

But comparison isn’t just the thief of joy, it can quietly undermine your confidence, focus, and sense of self. It makes you believe you need to be more like others and less like yourself, stealing the power that lies in your being YOU!

Shelley explores why comparison is unavoidable in today’s world, how it feeds into self-doubt and fear, and, most importantly, how you can take back control. Sharing personal experiences, client insights, and simple yet powerful strategies to help you shift your mindset, refocus on your own journey, and protect your energy from the comparison trap.

What’s Covered in Today’s Episode

  • How comparison impacts your confidence, focus, and even identity.
  • Why social media and societal pressure make it harder to escape the comparison trap.
  • How to reframe comparison as inspiration rather than self-doubt.
  • Practical ways to protect yourself from comparison spirals, including:
    • Tracking your wins and celebrating your progress.
    • Creating a “proof of progress” list to remind yourself of your achievements.
    • Auditing your social media to remove triggers and curate a feed that uplifts you.
  • Why your greatest superpower is being unapologetically you.

Reminder: The only comparison that matters is with YOU.
