🔥 Episode Summary

In this powerful solo episode, Stephanie Snyder, Ph.D., delivers a reminder every high-achiever needs to hear: you must measure from where you started—not from where you think you should be.

If you're constantly moving the goalpost or feeling like your growth isn't happening fast enough, this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you needed. Stephanie walks through the concept of "backward measurement" as the antidote to burnout, shame spirals, and entrepreneurial impatience.

Because when you look back—really look back—you'll see the evidence that you're not just progressing… you're expanding.

🧭 What You'll Learn

• Why "measuring forward" keeps you stuck in comparison

• The mindset shift that honors your actual growth

• How to identify what's already working in your business or life

• A grounding reminder that success is built in small, consistent shifts
