    How to Create Your Own Luck & Generate Opportunities for Success

    This episode is for the ambitious woman who’s tired of feeling like she’s doing everything “right” but still isn’t getting the opportunities she deserves. The woman who didn’t grow up with industry connections, insider access, or a ready-made network, and is now realising that if she wants doors to open, she might have to build the doorframe herself! If you’ve ever looked at someone else’s success and thought, “How did she just get lucky?”', this conversation will change the way you see opportunity forever.

    How To Stop Constantly Comparing Yourself To Others and Reframe Your Mindset

    This episode is for the ambitious woman who’s trying to build a life for herself, but keeps getting pulled off her path because she’s too busy watching someone else’s. The girlie who knows comparison has been draining her energy, blurring her clarity, and making her question whether she’s “behind”… and is finally ready to reclaim her focus, direction, and identity. 💫 In today’s episode, we dive into the quiet battle so many high-achieving women face: the comparison loop. So many of us are building with one hand… and scrolling with the other. Analysing what everyone else is doing. Second-guessing our own timeline. Switching strategies because someone else’s life looks shinier, faster, or more “right.” Together, we’re breaking down the truth behind comparison, why ambitious women are especially vulnerable to it, and what it actually takes to stay rooted in your own lane, even when everyone else’s life feels louder than your own. If you’ve ever felt like your confidence wavers the moment you see someone else “ahead,” this episode is your reminder: You’re not behind. You’re not late. You’re not lacking.You’re building. ✨ Timestamps 🎧 00:00 – Intro 01:27 – Comparison for Ambitious Women 10:30 – Comparing Timelines 22:01 – The Cost of Comparison 30:12 – Overcoming Comparison 46:44 – You’re Not Behind 51:30 – Dear Ambitious Girlies Check out FIGS: https://www.wearfigs.com Remember to use code FIGSXBA for 15% off your first order besties! ✨ Connect with Myriad Studios: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myriadstudiosldn/ Connect with us: ✍️ Sign up to our newsletter to hear more of our thoughts - https://boldlyambitious.substack.com/ 💌 Loved this episode?
