When Comparison Knocks Your Confidence
Notes de l’épisode
Have you ever found yourself comparing what you do to someone else… and felt your confidence dip?
In this episode, I share a recent moment where I came across an offer that looked similar to mine but at a much lower price - and how it knocked my confidence more than I expected.
More importantly, I talk about what helped me move through that comparison and come back to a more grounded, fair way of looking at myself and my work.
If you’ve ever questioned your fees, your value, or whether you’re “good enough” compared to other therapists, this episode will really resonate.
In This Episode, I Talk About:- How comparison knocks your confidence
- Why we often compare things that aren’t actually the same
- The difference between low-cost offers and higher-support spaces
- Why private practice isn’t a zero-sum game
- How comparison shows up in pricing, niching, and visibility
- Why talking about your work isn’t “selling”
- How to be fairer and kinder to yourself
