Comparison is sneaky—and in motherhood, it’s everywhere. From social media feeds to the carpool line, it’s so easy to look at what other moms are doing and feel like you’re falling behind. But comparison isn’t just an annoyance; research shows it’s linked to higher stress, depression, and lower satisfaction for moms.
In this episode of Leadership Parenting, I break down the science of why we compare, why moms are especially vulnerable, and how social media has amplified comparison in our daily lives. Then I walk you through my simple three-part method—Edit, Establish, Embrace—that will help you recognize unhealthy comparison, set wise boundaries, and reconnect with your own values. You’ll walk away with practical steps to protect your peace and return to joy.
