Ever look back at old photos or remember past fitness achievements and feel a pang of disappointment? The internal comparison game, pitting our present selves against a past version, is one of the biggest saboteurs of our wellness journey.
It tells us we’re not as fast, strong, or disciplined as we once were, leaving us feeling defeated before we even begin. Life changes—a new job, motherhood, unexpected challenges—mean that the strategies that worked for us before may not be what we need today.
In this episode, Coach Morgan Ekovich breaks down why this comparison can be so destructive and provides the tools to finally stop. Learn how to acknowledge your current season of life, give yourself grace, set realistic goals that honor your present reality, and rediscover the strength in the amazing woman you are today.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
