176. How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others (and your past self) with Sarah Hauser


Listen Later

Feeling trapped in the deadly, motivation-destroying comparison game? It could be with other women, but maybe it’s with your own self…your own body.

My guest today was constantly looking back at how strong and fit she was back in the day, before she had kids (twins!), and just felt disappointed about where her body was now. As a former athlete, she felt like she had lost it all throughout her mothering years.

I’m talking with Sarah Hauser, a busy mom just like you that was really hard on herself and kept comparing - forcing herself to keep doing what she had always done before. And it wasn’t until she finally broke down and did something VERY SPECIFIC that allowed her to get past that comparison trap. We chat about:

  • What drove her all-or-nothing behaviors
  • The pitfalls of trying to force an old workout routine into a new season of life
  • Running and half marathons
  • Postpartum depression and Postpartum anxiety
  • Diastasis Recti and postpartum fitness
  • Refusing to ask for help

This is one of the best conversations I’ve had. You’re going to love it.
