Ever catch yourself stuck in the comparison trap of motherhood? In this episode, Hav and Aleea dive into how social media can quietly fuel comparison—whether it’s parenting styles, milestones, or the picture-perfect lives we see online.

They open up about the emotional toll of constantly measuring yourself against other moms and the freedom that comes from embracing your own unique journey. You’ll hear real talk on the difference between healthy and unhealthy comparisons, how to create a more supportive mom community, and why being gentle with yourself matters more than keeping up.

Because here’s the truth: just because something felt easy for you doesn’t mean another mom’s struggle isn’t real—and none of us get an award for having it “all together.”

Listen in for an honest and supportive conversation about doing our best, our way.
