Do you find yourself scrolling Instagram, comparing your life to the perfect grids, the always happy families, and immaculate kitchens - and it makes you feel less than? You think man, they have it all, and I'm a hot mess over here! Do you see Moms at the park or at playgroup with seemingly endless amounts of patience and energy and you wonder why they have it, and you don't..
Comparison puts us in a place of lack, of less then. It kills our confidence, robs us peace and joy, and can stunt our growth. When we are so busy looking outward, thinking about all the things we don't have, we forget to be grateful for the things we do have. And we really do have so much to be grateful for. Gratitude is a powerful energy to be in.
We see a glimpse of someone else's life, and we forget it's only one piece to the puzzle. We make it up in our head they are "perfect", they have it all figured out. They are doing it “right”, there for I am doing “wrong”. When in reality, we are all just doing the best we can. And we have no idea what's going on for that Mom, behind closed doors, below the surface, beyond the highlight reel...right?
We have to stop comparing our worst moments to someone else's best moments.

In todays episode we chat about how comparison might be killing your confidence in motherhood, and then I give you three super practical ways to combat it.
Because we have enough going on already... and we don't need to be worrying about what everyone else is doing, how/when they are doing it!
It's time to shift your energy, build trust in yourself, grow your confidence, and lower stress and anxiety.
So, if you're ready, go ahead and press play!
Always wishing you well,
