#36 - The Trap: How Envy Sneaks In and Steals Your Joy

Every dad feels it: that quiet sting when another father rolls up in the newer truck, posts the perfect vacation pics, or brags about his kid's scholarship. Envy doesn't announce itself with horns—it slips in as a whisper: "You should have that too." In this episode we pull the mask off envy: where it's born, how it grows, and why it's especially toxic for fathers who are supposed to model contentment for their families. Once you see the pattern, you can shut it down before it poisons your marriage, your joy, and your kids' view of success.
