We're hitting episode 74 on the pod with an amazing guest on a topic I know most, if not all, female entrepreneurs have experienced at some stage of their journey. I'm talking about that sneaky feeling of comparison that can crop up when we least expect it as we see others living their best lives (and their best businesses!) online.
But never fear because I have the best expert on comparison IN THE WORLD on the podcast today and I'm very excited for her to get stuck into how to help you stop those feelings of comparison to others.
Lucy Sheridan is the world's first and only Comparison Coach™ who, through her private practice, course and membership has helped thousands of people go from 'compare and despair', to #comparisonfree.
Lucy has been accredited by the Association for Psychological Therapies, named as one of the New Wellbeing Specialists by The Sunday Times Style and praised as one of the UK's most successful coaches by The Times. Her work has been featured in global outlets such as the BBC's Claudia Winkleman Show, Psychology Today, Forbes and Google Labs.
We discussed ways to manage your comparison triggers and how to stay in your own lane in life and business including:
- Lucy's own definition of comparison
- Why women constantly measure and compare themselves against others
- Lucy's top tips to manage ourselves when comparison rears its ugly head
- How Lucy helps women define their version of success to help manage those comparison triggers
- What Soul Goals are and the best way to set those goals
- Lucy's advice on the benefits of getting intimate with your Comparison Condition
- The impact being on social media has had on our comparison condition
- The impact of the 'tyranny of positivity' and how that feeds into feelings of comparison
