Stop comparing yourself: Lessons from an Olympian

Ever notice how the higher you achieve, the louder the expectations get? Olympic gold medalist Charlotte Worthington gets it—because she’s lived it in the most high-stakes arena possible.

In this episode, Charlotte shares how she built mental toughness in a sport that’s equal parts fearless and strategic, why confidence is a practice (not a personality trait), and the simple mindset shift that changed everything for her: swap comparison for admiration.

You’ll hear about:

• How Charlotte went from new BMX rider to Olympic track fast (without “waiting until she was ready”)
• The tools she uses to stay calm under pressure: breathing + visualization + thought rehearsal
• Why “I have to be the best in the room” is a trap (and what to do instead)
• Individual sport vs. team energy—and how she learned to drop ego and embrace support
• The confidence reframe every woman in leadership needs: comparison → admiration
