535. Coaching Hotline: Hyper-Vigilance & Comparing Myself to Every Woman We Pass

535. Coaching Hotline: Hyper-Vigilance & Comparing Myself to Every Woman We Pass13 oct.5 min

Do you find yourself comparing yourself to every woman you see when you are out with your partner? In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer a listener’s question about hyper-vigilantly scanning other women and feeling like you are constantly being ranked against them.

I share why this pattern is not a personal failure, but a result of the way women are socialized to see other women as competition for attention, validation, and being chosen. You’ll hear why the solution is not trying to prove that you are the most attractive person in the room, but building a sense of your own value that is not dependent on your appearance or someone else’s approval.
