Unblocked
Welcome to Unblocked with Jessica Smarro, the podcast for bold conversations, deep shifts, and real freedom. We go beyond surface-level hacks and dive straight into the real work of unlearning the conditioning, rewiring the patterns, and reclaiming the parts of you that were never broken, just buried.
Each episode is a bold invitation to challenge your programming, expand your inner freedom, and lead a life that actually feels like yours. This is where insight meets integration, where success meets soul, and where high performers come to feel more fully alive.
You are already whole. Now let’s live like it.

Ep. 168 What Comparison is Actually Trying to Tell You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You're watching someone else do the thing you want to do, and they're doing it better than you. So your brain, being your brain, lands on "well, that must mean I suck."
In this episode, I unpack why comparison doesn't have to mean what you think it means and why "they're better than me" doesn't have to end with "so I'm terrible."
In this episode you'll hear my personal example plus the client conversation that sparked the whole episode.
What you'll take away:
- Why someone being better at something than you doesn't mean you're not good
- How to use comparison as data instead of a problem
- The question to ask yourself before you go looking for what they do better
- Why zero-sum thinking tanks your growth
If comparison tends to put you in a spiral, this one's for you.
