In case you need this: Jealous of Someone Else's Joy? It's Okay If You Feel That Way

from The Life Shift | Conversations About Life Before and After · host Matt Gilhooly

Jealousy can feel uncomfortable – even shameful. But it's also human. You might feel it when someone else gets the opportunity you’ve been dreaming of, or when their joy highlights something you still deeply want. This short reflection offers a compassionate reminder: jealousy doesn’t make you bad or ungrateful. It often points to a dream or desire within you that still matters. Instead of pushing the feeling away or layering it with guilt, this episode invites you to notice it, name it, and let it move through without judgment. You're allowed to feel jealous and still be kind to yourself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
