Why We Feel Jealous Even About People We Love

Hey everyone! Welcome back to In Session with Nat & Ang.In today’s episode, we talk all about jealousy—especially when we feel it toward people we love, like our friends or family. We ask a big question: is it normal to feel jealous? (And yes, it really is.)We talk about why jealousy shows up, how our culture can make it feel even stronger, and what happens when we start comparing our lives to other people’s lives. We also break down those “should” thoughts, like telling ourselves we should be doing more or should be somewhere else in life, and how that can make us feel like we’re not enough.We share our own stories about feeling jealous or not good enough, and we talk about what helps us work through those hard feelings. We also explain the difference between healthy jealousy and unhealthy jealousy, and how to be kinder to yourself when jealousy shows up.If you’ve ever felt jealous, you’re not alone. We’re right there with you, and in this episode, we’re figuring it out together—one honest conversation at a time.Chapters:00:00 "Embracing Human Vulnerability"04:50 Struggling with Contentment09:42 "Dealing with Entitled Opinions"13:11 Teenage Identity and Perfectionism17:06 "Faith in a Higher Power"19:35 Healthy vs. Unhealthy Jealousy22:21 Body Image and Self-Acceptance26:50 "Focus on Strengths and Gratitude"30:28 Body Positivity and Realistic Goals33:02 "Love Yourself, Embrace Uniqueness"36:43 "Shared Struggles, Shared Compassion"39:31 "Gratitude and Daily Focus"41:44 "Open Topics and Questions"
