HERself
As women and mothers of young children, it can be easy to compare ourselves to others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers! Being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. Are you wanting more ease in your marriage? Or more enjoyment as a parent? Are you looking for a strategy to the health challenges you have been facing recently? Do you feel like you have been staring at a stranger in the mirror since becoming a mother? Abby and Amy get vulnerable with topics around partnership, motherhood, health, and self improvement by interviewing authors, therapists, experts and everyday mothers. Our conversations will meet you with solutions and solidarity as you find a life path that feels aligned for you.

329. A Reframe on Jealousy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to other women and feeling jealous, intimidated, or like you’re somehow behind. But what if you could shift that mindset and instead feel genuinely inspired by the success around you? In this episode, we share a recent real-life experience from a mastermind we attended with highly successful business owners and how it challenged us to see comparison differently. Instead of letting the “small fish in a big sea” feeling discourage us, we used it as proof of what’s possible. We talk about the mindset shift that helped us move from comparison to inspiration, why personal growth plays a huge role in that process, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can change the way you view your own potential.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What it felt like walking into a room full of highly successful entrepreneurs.
- The surprising common habits we noticed among women operating at a high level.
- Why taking care of your physical health often supports long-term success.
- The “highlight reel vs. inner life” trap and why it distorts how we see other people’s journeys.
- Questions to ask yourself when someone else's success triggers comparison.
- The hidden sacrifices and personal work that often sit behind visible success.
- Practical ways to shift from jealousy to curiosity and inspiration.
- Why your mindset about others’ success can either hold you back or move you forward.
- How getting support, such as a mindset coach, can help you break out of negative thought patterns.
- The powerful question to ask when a negative thought about someone else pops up.
