Episode Details

Have you ever felt jealous of another woman, compared yourself to someone else's life, or wondered why your partner gave someone else what you so desperately wanted?

Jealousy can feel especially painful after infidelity. And when it shows up, it's easy to turn those feelings against yourself, questioning your worth and wondering why you aren't enough.

In this episode, I'm exploring the difference between jealousy, envy, and longing — and why understanding what's underneath those feelings can be such an important part of healing after betrayal.

I'll share personal experiences, research, and stories from my coaching practice to help you recognize what jealousy might be trying to tell you. We'll also explore how comparison can keep you stuck and how shifting your attention toward your own desires can open the door to growth.

You don't have to shame yourself for what you're feeling. There may be something important underneath it that's asking to be heard.

Join me as we explore how to turn jealousy into greater self-understanding, possibility, and healing.
