039: 12 Ways to Overcome Online Jealousy with Lindsay Ostrom from Pinch of Yum

Welcome to episode 39 of the Food Blogger Pro podcast! In this episode, Bjork talks with Lindsay (yes, that Lindsay) about online jealousy.   There’s a big green monster in the room and no one really wants to talk about it. That monster is Jealousy, and it’s something every one of us experiences from time to time. Jealousy can be difficult to overcome, and it can even ruin you day if not controlled. Lindsay recently experienced this when she saw someone had made a video similar to one she was in the process of making. Once she realized what was going on, she took a step back and decided to think about some techniques she could use to overcome this jealousy. She took those thoughts and put them into words in a blog post on Pinch of Yum. Because this is such an important topic, Bjork asked if Lindsay could come on the podcast to talk a little more in-depth about the 12 different techniques you can use to overcome online (or offline) jealousy. In this episode, Lindsay talks about: Why unfollowing people isn’t being harsh How Bjork wishes he was like Taylor Swift How to truly find inspiration - as opposed to trying to copycat How much time you should be dedicating to creating content vs. consuming content How to use abundance mindset to combat feeling inadequate Why having non-blogger friends can be like a drink of fresh water How to turn a jealous feeling into a team feeling How gratitude can help   Resources: POY Post on Jealousy Facebook News Feed Eradicator for Chrome Daring Greatly by Brené Brown If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for interviews, be sure to email them to [email protected].
