If I Can't Have It, You Shouldn't Either

from Bearing A Burden: Finding Balance in a World of Extremes · host Nova James

We don’t always call it envy, but we feel it.That subtle sting when someone else gets what we wanted.That urge to downplay their win because we haven’t had our turn yet.In this episode, we unpack envy as one of the most quietly destructive forces in our lives. From social media comparison to strained friendships, from internal scorekeeping to emotional sabotage, envy convinces us that someone else’s success is proof of our failure.But what if it’s not?Together, we explore how to stop feeding resentment, start reclaiming joy, and celebrate others without shrinking ourselves in the process.Because someone else’s shine doesn’t dim your own.Unless you let it.
