#24 Why Do We Compare? [Comparison Series 1]
Why do I keep comparing myself to other mums, even when I know it only makes me feel worse?
In this thought-provoking episode, we step back in time to explore the evolutionary roots of comparison, uncovering why this instinct to measure ourselves against others is as ancient as survival itself. Imagine being in a world where every glance, every assessment, was a matter of safety, belonging, and social connection. Fast-forward to modern motherhood, where comparison remains deeply ingrained but often leaves us feeling isolated rather than connected.
Join us on a reflective journey as we explore how comparison—once a tool for community and learning—has transformed into a trap of self-doubt and unattainable standards. Through the lens of evolutionary psychology and insights from social psychologist Susan Fisk, we’ll unravel why this instinct still grips us, especially in our role as mothers, and how it shapes our self-worth.
This episode is for you if...
You often wonder if you’re ‘doing enough’ as a mother, find yourself comparing with others on social media, or crave a deeper understanding of how to make peace with the inner critic.
Together, we’ll learn to soften our gaze on comparison, to transform it from a source of pressure into a bridge for connection. With guidance from insights on vulnerability by Brené Brown, we’ll reframe the way we compare, shifting from competition to curiosity. You’ll come away with practical tools and reflective pauses, allowing you to question the instinct to compare and, perhaps, find grace within it.
