Ep. 128: How to stop trying to keep up with the (mom) Joneses

Podcast_ep_128_website_image.png

Motherhood is a journey and we're all on our own path, so why are we so focused on what everyone else is doing? We've become obsessed with keeping up with other moms who are trying to keep up with other moms who are trying to keep up with other moms. It's a cycle of comparison that is disempowering and fruitless.

Let's instead compare ourselves to others only when it empowers us to do better and encourages us that if she can do it, so can I. It's time for us to run (or walk, or crawl, or waddle) our own races, mamas.
