Jealousy is often just fear in disguise. It’s a prickly emotion that shows up in all kinds of relationships—between siblings, friends, romantic partners, and even with our own kids. And if we don’t know how to work with it, it can hijack our peace, strain our relationships, and leave us stewing in shame.
I get personal in this episode, sharing how jealousy has shown up in my own life. I also unpack how it’s often tied to deeper fears like abandonment, worthiness, or scarcity.
But jealousy doesn’t have to be in charge. I’ll walk you through the practical tools that helped me move from reactive and anxious to curious and empowered—like brain-dumping, speaking with your "inner parts," and building safety in ways that actually work.
