Episode 6: Escaping The Comparison Trap
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we take a deep, honest look at the comparison trap – why we slip into it so easily, why it hits so hard, and how to break free from the spiral.
We unpack the biology behind comparison, how our brains are wired for survival rather than modern life, and why social media amplifies all the worst bits. From “keeping up with the Joneses” to watching someone else’s rapid success story online, we explore how unfair comparisons creep in and how easily they knock us off our own path.
But this isn’t just an episode about the problem. It’s about what to do with it. We'll share practical ways to turn comparison into clarity:
• spotting what a trigger is really telling you
• using others’ success as evidence and fuel rather than a yardstick
• shifting from external validation to trusting your own lane
• defining “winning” on your terms, week by week
It’s a candid, lighthearted conversation full of real examples from our own lives and business, and an encouraging reminder that your journey isn’t meant to look like anyone else’s.
