15. comparisonitis: what's wrong with me? Why is she doing better at this than me... then remembering why 🤍

About this episode

This episode discusses the feelings of inadequacy that arise from comparing oneself to other mothers and offers strategies to cope with those feelings.

When we compare ourselves to other mums, we ALWAYS come up short. It is so easy to look at someone's snapshot of their day, and quickly assume we are not doing as well at being a mum as they are. We know that. But... it still feels shit. So in this episode, we talk about how to navigate that feeling, and what to do when it comes up.
