What if the biggest threat to your relationship isn’t conflict—but silence? In this Valentine’s Day–themed episode of the Mama Work It Podcast, we’re joined by Colette Jane Fehr, licensed psychotherapist, nationally recognized relationship expert, and author of the newly released book The Cost of Quiet: How to Have the Hard Conversations That Create Secure, Lasting Love.

Do you suffer from Comparisonitis? In this powerful episode of the Mama Work It podcast, we dive into one of the sneakiest sources of stress and self-doubt for moms: comparison. From social media highlight reels to milestone pressure, it’s easy to feel like you’re “behind” or “not enough.” But Mama — your journey is allowed to look different. In today’s conversation, we unpack: Why comparison is such a natural part of motherhood How social media amplifies insecurity (and how to take back control) What it means to honor the season you’re in Mindset and practical tools to shift out of comparison mode How your relationship with comparison impacts your kids A grounding, guided reframe to help you reconnect to your own path This episode is your reminder that growth has no timeline — and you can release the pressure to compete with anyone else’s life but your own.
