Comparison is often labeled as the thief of joy, but what if it could actually be a powerful teacher? In this episode, I tackle the role comparison often plays in a rehab or fitness journey—whether it’s looking back at what you used to lift, comparing your progress post-injury to your past self, or feeling stuck when you see someone else moving better or achieving more. I’ll share why comparison itself isn’t the issue; it’s how we respond to it that matters. You’ll be walking away from this episode with strategies to approach comparison in a way that supports, rather than hinders, your goals for fitness longevity and sustainable progress.
