Ep 110: Stop the Comparison Spiral: Coaches Comparing Themselves to Other Coaches

Ever catch yourself scrolling and wondering, Why am I not there yet? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Craft of Coaching, we’re naming the comparison spiral that so many coaches fall into—especially in a world where highlight reels dominate. We break down exactly how comparison derails your intuition, your business decisions, and your confidence—and what experienced coaches do differently to stop it in its tracks. You’ll hear practical, grounded strategies for staying focused on your path, building your coaching business with integrity, and reconnecting with your own metrics for success. If you’ve ever felt like everyone else is ahead of you, or like you need to be louder or flashier to “make it,” this episode will rewire the way you see your coaching journey.
