Episode 150 – Why Comparison Isn’t The Thief Of Joy (And What It Can Teach You)
Comparison is often labeled as the thief of joy, but what if it could actually be a powerful teacher? In this episode, I tackle the role comparison often plays in a rehab or fitness journey—whether it’s looking back at what you used to lift, comparing your progress post-injury to your past self, or feeling stuck when you see someone else moving better or achieving more. I’ll share why comparison itself isn’t the issue; it’s how we respond to it that matters. You’ll be walking away from this episode with strategies to approach comparison in a way that supports, rather than hinders, your goals for fitness longevity and sustainable progress.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.
I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.
Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
