We’re back (for real this time) — and diving straight into the comparison game in motherhood. From the highlight reels on Instagram to the “my baby walked at 10 months” conversations, comparison seems to sneak in everywhere. In this episode, we unpack why it hits mums so hard, what it says about our identity, and how to shift from comparison to confidence.
We talk social media, “mum guilt,” Dr. Becky’s take on guilt vs shame, and what healthy, purposeful comparison can actually look like. Expect real talk, a few laughs (including a food poisoning story you won’t forget), and some grounded encouragement for any mum who’s ever thought, “am I doing enough?”
✨ Topics:
The pressure to be “that mum” on Instagram
Why motherhood makes comparison feel so personal
Guilt vs. shame (and why you might not actually feel mum guilt)
Strength-based parenting and staying true to who you are
How to use comparison for growth, not self-criticism
🎧 Hit play for a reminder that there’s no single way to be a good mum — and that who you are is exactly who your kids need.
