How to Stop Comparing Your Motherhood Journey
Do you suffer from Comparisonitis?
In this powerful episode of the Mama Work It podcast, we dive into one of the sneakiest sources of stress and self-doubt for moms: comparison. From social media highlight reels to milestone pressure, it’s easy to feel like you’re “behind” or “not enough.”
But Mama — your journey is allowed to look different.
In today’s conversation, we unpack:
- Why comparison is such a natural part of motherhood
- How social media amplifies insecurity (and how to take back control)
- What it means to honor the season you’re in
- Mindset and practical tools to shift out of comparison mode
- How your relationship with comparison impacts your kids
- A grounding, guided reframe to help you reconnect to your own path
This episode is your reminder that growth has no timeline — and you can release the pressure to compete with anyone else’s life but your own.
Key Takeaways:
- Comparison isn’t a character flaw — it’s a habit you can break.
- Curate your inputs: protect your mental health on social media.
- Honor your season — you are not meant to grow at the same pace as everyone else.
- Use tools like:
- “That’s for her, this is for me.”
- Shifting from comparison to curiosity.
- Celebrating small victories daily.
- Your kids learn confidence from watching you break comparison cycles.
