from The Love, Her Podcast: Breathwork, Healing and Coming Home to Yourself · host Laura Kistner

Five years ago, I blew out my birthday candles feeling completely lost.I was unhappy, disconnected from myself, and had no idea how much my life was about to change.Recently, I found myself caught in a familiar trap: comparison. After seeing another coach's incredible success, I started questioning my own progress and making her accomplishments mean something about me.But that experience reminded me of an important truth:The only person I should be comparing myself to is the woman I used to be.In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal story about comparison, why it's never a fair comparison when we measure our lives against someone else's, and how comparison quietly steals our ability to recognize our own growth.We'll talk about:​ Why comparison is never truly fair• The question that instantly changed my perspective• How comparison robs us of gratitude and joy• The danger of making someone else's success mean something about you• Why your past self is the only person worth comparing yourself to• A simple reflection exercise to help you recognize your growthIf you've ever felt behind, not successful enough, or like everyone else has it figured out except you, this episode is for you.Resources & Links✨ Schedule a free 1:1 coaching discovery call:Click Here to Schedule✨ Join my newsletter for weekly encouragement, podcast updates, and inspiration:Sign Up HereIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with a friend, leave a review, or send me a message.
