It’s amazing how just one small word can shift an entire conversation—for better or worse. Without realizing it, we often invite comparison into our discussions, creating unnecessary tension or discomfort.

That’s why I’m thrilled to have Kathie Gwilliam on the podcast this week! Kathie is an expert at identifying the subtle ways comparison sneaks into our language, and she’s here to help us become more self-aware.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Three common phrases that unintentionally fuel comparison—and what to say instead.

✅ How to help your kids when they feel insecure after someone else gets a compliment.

✅ A simple way to introduce yourself with confidence.

✅ Why we need to be mindful of body-talk around our kids—plus a healthy way to process body image struggles.

Since learning from Kathie, I’ve been catching myself making comparisons—and I’m working on changing that! I’d love to hear how this episode impacts you. Come share your thoughts with me on Instagram!
