Why Am I Jealous? Turning Comparison into Confidence

Hey Layered Fam! It’s Maxine here, and today we’re diving into a topic that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough—jealousy. Yep, we’re getting real about those ‘what about me?’ moments that creep in, not just in relationships but in every part of life. Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media, seeing someone else’s success, and feeling that sting—not because they don’t deserve it, but because you wonder, when is it going to be my turn? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’ll share my personal experience with jealousy, including retroactive jealousy in relationships (yikes!) and how I learned that the only way to move past it is to admit it. We’ll explore why comparison is such a trap, how to stop being jealous of others’ success, and how you can channel those feelings into self-reflection and growth instead. Tune in, let’s get vulnerable, and remember—your time is coming. Keep unravelling, keep exploring, and embrace every layer of your unique journey. 💫
