Q: Have you ever found yourself stuck in the comparison trap and not sure how to avoid it? That's that yucky feeling like everyone else is way, way, WAY farther ahead of you and you should be further along than you already are. They seem to have all things figured out and you're feeling like you've barely remembered to wear clean socks today. (No? Just me… okay, carry on!)

My special guest today is Anna Dunleavy and she's simplifying how to avoid the comparison trap.

We tackle all aspects of it, including how to squash your imposter syndrome, quiet down your inner critic, and the most important bit… how to tap into your inner knowing, your Intuition to bring about a sense of calm in these very uncertain times.

(NOTE: This episode was recorded at the end of February 2020 and while the world seems a bit upside down at the moment with the Coronavirus, I wanted to share an episode that is timeless and affects all of us at some point in our career journey.)

The good news is… you can squash the fear and step out of the comparison trap at any time. Have a listen to this conversation, try a few new ideas, and let me know what's working for you these days.

It's time to #DoTheThing!
