87: How to Turn Comparison into Clarity

Rashmi Schramm, MD Episode 87

In today’s honest and empowering episode, I unpack the very natural (and very human) habit of comparing ourselves to others. Instead of shaming it, we’ll learn how to use it as sacred data—a mirror, not a measuring stick.

✨ Inside this episode:

  • Why comparison is wired into your nervous system
  • How social comparison theory still runs the show
  • The difference between upward and downward comparison (and how both trap you)
  • My favorite Exercise for turning envy into insight
  • How to track your own wins with compassion and clarity
  • A loving reminder: You are not behind—you're on your own sacred timeline.

We’re not here to pretend we never compare. We’re here to do something much more powerful:
 ✨ Reclaim the energy comparison tries to steal
 ✨ Use it to celebrate what’s waking up inside us
 ✨ And run our own race.
