11: The Comparison Trap: "How Can I Make Peace with a Path That Didn’t Pay Off?"

from Listen To My Mother · host Shain and Sarah Fishman

This week, Shain and Sarah respond to a listener who’s struggling to make peace with a career risk that didn’t go as planned—and the sting of comparing herself to friends earning four times her salary. They unpack what it means to redefine success when life doesn’t follow a straight line. Shain applauds the courage it takes to start over and Sarah explores how grief, growth, and comparison intertwine. Together, they offer grounded insight on how to honor the lessons, release the shame, and move forward with purpose. Have a question you'd like answered on-air?
