#177 - Comparisonitis - The Game You'll Never Let Yourself Win

We’ve all been there. You’re scrolling Instagram, checking out someone else’s shiny new program, their sold-out launch, or their glossy website, and suddenly, what you’ve built feels… small. Messy. Not enough.That’s comparisonitis. And here’s the truth: it’s a game you’ll never let yourself win. Because every time you get close to what once felt “enough,” your brain moves the goalposts.In this episode of ReWild Your Business, I’m breaking down why comparisonitis is such a creativity killer, how it's the theif of courage. Mimicking someone else’s highlight reel will always water down your own brilliance. More importantly, I’ll share how to flip the script, shifting from comparison into connection, so you can reclaim your energy, originality, and confidence.If you’ve been caught in the trap of measuring your work against someone else’s yardstick, this one’s for you.✨ Here are the three journaling prompts I share in this episode to help you step out of the comparison trap:Where in my business am I measuring myself against someone else’s definition of success?If I stopped comparing myself to others, what would I create differently today?What would my business look and feel like if I only played by my own rules?And don’t forget, my upcoming workshop All of You: The Unapologetic Art of Showing Up Unedited is happening on September 30th.
