061 - In Defense of Jealousy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jealousy gets a bad reputation, but what if it's actually trying to tell you something?
In this episode, I'm making the case for sitting with your jealousy instead of rushing to shame yourself out of it. We'll dig into why the current discourse around jealousy flattens a genuinely complicated feeling into either a character flaw or a feeling to normalize, and why neither of those is especially useful. We talk about the real difference between jealousy and envy, what it actually means to use jealousy as a map toward what you want, and how to start building the self-belief to go get it (without any manifestation speak). This one's for the jealous friend. You're not a bad person. You just need to tap in.
