Listen "Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap"
Episode Synopsis
Ep. 217 Ever feel like everyone else is moving ahead while you’re stuck standing still?
In this episode of Healing Her Within, host Maryann Rivera-Dannert unpacks the subtle yet destructive trap of comparison—and how it quietly feeds self-doubt, stagnation, and feelings of “not enough.” Through honest reflection and practical strategies, Maryann shares how you can shift from watching others’ highlight reels to creating your own life of clarity, confidence, and purpose.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
Why comparison keeps you stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and inaction
The power of taking imperfect action to build momentum and growth
The “iceberg effect” of success and why you shouldn’t measure your worth against what you see on the surface
How small daily steps can bring clarity, confidence, and fulfillment
Ways to align your passion with impact to uncover your true purpose
This conversation is an invitation to stop sitting on the sidelines and start showing up for yourself—even if it’s messy, even if it’s small. Because action breeds clarity, and your purpose is waiting in the doing.
