What does a jacket have to do with comparison? In this episode, we unpack a simple moment during a lunchtime walk that reveals something powerful: just because someone would choose differently doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

After overhearing a comment about not wearing a jacket on a cool day, we explore how naturally—and constantly—we judge and compare. Not always harshly. Not always intentionally. But automatically. And the real issue isn’t that we judge. It’s that we assume sameness equals correctness.

From thermostats to timelines, we dive into why you don’t actually know someone else’s “internal temperature”—their wiring, their season, their pressures, or their pace. And why trying to match everyone else’s comfort level can quietly steal your confidence and joy.

Listen in as we talk about learning to be comfortable in your own skin—even when you’re the only one in the room dressed differently.

💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why comparison is automatic—but not always helpful • The subtle trap of assuming your way is the right way • How to recognize when comparison is stealing your confidence • The difference between thoughtful awareness and unhealthy self-doubt • How to trust your own “internal climate”

🛠️ Action Step: The next time you catch yourself comparing—pause and ask: “Do I actually know their full story?” Then redirect your focus to what you know about yourself, your goals, and your season.

📌 Perfect For: • Professionals navigating comparison at work • Anyone feeling behind, ahead, or out of sync • Leaders wanting to build healthier team culture • People learning to trust their own pace and preferences
