How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others


Listen Later

Welcome back to another special episode of the Madam athlete podcast! On the second Tuesday of the month, I take a deep dive into a career-related topic, and on today’s episode I’m talking about the comparison game. Only, it’s not really a game, because it’s not fun and there is not a lot of winning if you’re playing. The idea for today’s episode came about when several of the women in my Women’s Career Transformation Academy brought up their struggles with comparison. That they struggle with comparing themselves to other women they feel are further along in their career. That they are in fact comparing themselves to these other women constantly and always feeling like they come up short. And it’s miserable! So, on today’s episode, I’ll be sharing what science tells us about comparing ourselves to others and what you can do to stop engaging in the comparison game and to take back your confidence.
