In this week's episode of the Jewellers Academy podcast, host Anna Campbell sits down with writer, storyteller, and trauma-informed artist and educator Heidi Hinda Chadwick to tackle a challenge every creative and entrepreneur faces: comparison.
Together, they explore the double-edged sword of comparison in the age of social media, how it can fuel inspiration but also leave us feeling 'not enough'. Anna and Heidi share personal stories and practical tools to help you shift your perspective and keep your creativity alive.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why comparison is so powerful in today’s hyper-connected world, and how to tell when it’s serving you versus when it’s draining you.
How to use jealousy as a 'treasure map' to uncover what you really want in your own creative or business journey.
The three P’s of self-sabotage (perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination) and how to recognise and move beyond them.
Simple practices that can help re-centre your confidence and joy.
Why there’s no single path to success, and how collaboration and community can replace competition.
How to ground yourself in your own growth and celebrate progress, rather than relying on external validation.
This conversation is a reminder that while comparison is inevitable, it doesn’t have to hold you back. Instead, you can use it to inspire, motivate, and reconnect with your unique strengths and to build a creative practice and business that truly reflects you.
