Episode #13 - Megan Sumrell
You can break the comparison spiral and feel steady in your choices again.
Here’s how.
In this episode, the conversation starts with a familiar trigger: scrolling social media and feeling like other moms are doing it “better.” Comparison can quickly turn into a self-worth scorecard, especially when you’re ambitious and already carrying a full plate. The goal isn’t to shame the habit, it’s to notice it sooner and stop letting someone else’s highlight reel rewrite your confidence.
The reset is to come back to what’s true for you. Identify your core values, let them guide your calendar, and release the “shoulds” that create guilt and noise. When decisions are anchored in your priorities (not outside expectations), you spend less energy second-guessing and more energy building a life that feels aligned, even when it’s busy.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ Comparison isn’t clarity.
2️⃣ Values guide the calendar.
3️⃣ Drop the “shoulds,” lose the guilt.
