Are you actually behind… or just distracted?In this episode, I get real about something many school leaders won’t say out loud—comparison is quietly stealing our joy, our peace, and our focus.I open up about how recently comparing myself to other principals and leaders cost me my peace and pulled me out of my lane. And I unpack why comparison hits high-achieving leaders especially hard—and how it can slowly shift us away from our purpose without us even realizing it.We start by redefining joy—not as a feeling, not as success, but as alignment with God’s will.
