Episode 06: The Comparison Trap: Defining Success on Your Own Terms
Did you know that 60% of adults gauge their worth by others? Tamara Loring and Dr. Mike Smith tackle the “infamous” comparison trap – from its origins and far-reaching impacts on both your career and personal fulfillment. They explore the different phenomena that keep us stuck, exacerbated by social media, and touch upon the Career Revolution’s Five Steps to Finding Your Primary Aim. Learn how to build a comparison-proof career and the life of your dreams.
In this episode, Tamara and Dr. Mike explore how early conditioning, performance pressure, and social media have shaped how we measure our success—and why it’s crucial to define success on our own terms. They walk through powerful mindset shifts and exercises from Your Career Revolution, including envisioning your legacy and identifying what you don’t want in life. The goal: reclaim your purpose, rediscover the freedom to dream, and give yourself permission to pursue a path that aligns with your true self—not someone else’s expectations. Whether you’re stuck in a “battered career” or just feeling out of alignment, this episode invites you to bet on yourself, take small steps, and start living a life of your own design.
