In this episode of WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, dives into the double-edged nature of comparison and its impact on our mindset. While comparison can fuel growth and inspiration, it can just as easily steal our joy when it becomes a measure of our worth.

Deanna unpacks how comparison, amplified by negativity bias, can leave us feeling inadequate and stuck. But with practical reframes, tools for self-reflection, and strategies to celebrate our own progress, she shares how to transform comparison from a joy-thief into a catalyst for growth.

What Listeners Will Learn:

• Why comparison is natural and how it impacts our self-perception
• How negativity bias magnifies feelings of inadequacy
• Practical ways to reframe comparison from discouragement to inspiration
• How to turn jealousy into curiosity and motivation
• Simple strategies to track your progress and celebrate your wins

Memorable Quotes:

• “Comparison is the thief of joy (Theodore Roosevelt) —when it pulls our attention away from our own path.”
• “Jealousy is just unspoken desire. Instead of letting it bring you down, let it guide you forward.”
• “Comparison steals our joy when we use it to measure our worth instead of our growth.”
• “I am not behind. I am not less than. I am exactly where I need to be.”
• “Let your journey, your resilience, and your growth be the proof of your Possible.”

This episode inspires listeners to shift their perspective on comparison, turning it from a source of self-doubt into a roadmap for personal growth and joy.
