What happens when we constantly measure ourselves against others? In this deeply personal conversation, we unpack the psychological impact of comparison and how it can derail even our best health intentions.

We've all been there - scrolling through social media only to feel utterly inadequate compared to the perfectly curated fitness journeys we see online. But what's really happening when we compare ourselves to others, and how does it affect our progress? Together we explore this universal struggle, sharing our own vulnerabilities around comparison in running, business, and body image.

The conversation takes an unexpected turn when we discuss whether comparison can ever actually be helpful. Can measuring ourselves against others (or past versions of ourselves) motivate positive change? We discover there's a subtle but crucial difference between inspirational comparison and the kind that leaves you feeling defeated before you even begin.

Perhaps most powerful is our discussion about redefining progress itself. We challenge the notion that progress must always be visible or physical, revealing how some of our most significant growth happens internally - in our mindset, emotional resilience, and relationship with exercise. There's extraordinary value in simply showing up consistently, especially when nobody's watching and no one's giving out medals.

Whether you're a fitness enthusiast struggling with comparison or simply someone trying to find joy in movement without the pressure of perfection, this conversation offers both comfort and practical wisdom. Because ultimately, the only comparison that truly matters is between who you were yesterday and who you're becoming today.
