Summary

If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “How am I this far behind?”—this episode is for you, sister. Whether it's in fitness, motherhood, your career, relationships, or money… that sinking feeling of falling behind is so common, but also completely misleading.

 

In this heartfelt episode, I’m breaking down the truth behind that “I should be further along” mindset, and offering you real, practical perspective shifts to help you move forward with more clarity, peace, and power. You’ll walk away feeling lighter, more grounded, and deeply reminded that your timeline is still right on time.

 

What I Discuss:

 

Why feeling behind often means you actually care

The myth of a “universal timeline” and how to stop comparing yours

How to reframe the inner dialogue of “I should be further along”

Using your desire for more as fuel—not shame

The power of moving just one inch forward each day

Why your current season is sacred, even if it looks messy
