Summary

Today we're tackling a topic that has been a HUGE roadblock for me--comparison. One of the BIGGEST ways I "got in my own way" was by comparing myself to other people, usually those who were further along in their journeys or doing incredible things that I really admired (and deep down wondered if I was capable of doing)...and it paralyzed me.

I would bet that maybe you have fallen into the comparison trap before too, and I'm here to tell you that there IS a way to free yourself from it so you can find your own lane, and make the impact you are meant to make.

In this episode you will learn:

That you may not be able to turn off the comparison thoughts completely, but you can release the grip they have on your confidence
How to reframe the automatic thoughts of comparison in a way that empowers you AND the person you're comparing yourself to
Why it's not mean to unfollow someone on social media who triggers a comparison habit for you

Will we see you at Powerhouse Women 2019, September 7th in Scottsdale AZ? We can't wait to meet you!! Grab your tickets today at www.powerhousewomen.co/event

0:35.0	from it so you can find your own lane and make the impact that you

1:10.5	Thank you so much for tuning in to the podcast, you guys. I have to say, so I'm recording this exactly two weeks since we launched the podcast. Today, as I sit here, it has been live out there in the world for just two weeks. It's like a little baby podcast. And I'm blown away by the response.
1:31.0	So just know every single one of you that has left a review that has re-shared an episode that you
1:36.8	loved on your Instagram or your Facebook. I am reading every single one of those. I am just

1:47.7	about this response, but it's driving me even more to keep creating content and bringing guests on
1:55.0	that are going to help you do what we say we're here to do, which is help you get out of your own way
