The Real Mother Effort Podcast

When You Feel Like You're the Only One Who Doesn't Have It Together


Listen Later

Ever scroll through Instagram or walk into school drop-off and feel like everyone else is doing life better than you? Like they've cracked the code on parenting, career, home, and somehow… hair? In this episode, we're talking about what's actually going on when you feel that way, why your brain lumps everyone's "bests" into one impossible standard, and how to tell the difference between what genuinely inspires you and what just drains you. You'll walk away with a new lens for what to keep, what to release, and how to give yourself credit for what you're already doing well.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why feeling "behind" is more about perception than reality
  • The real reason your brain creates that "perfect" mom in your head
  • How to tell if jealousy means want or should
  • A quick practice to turn comparison into clarity
  • The reminder every mom needs: you're already doing something someone else admires
