Summary

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. 💫

Question#46 John Question#46 From the ghettos of Los Angeles, to a little town in Wisconsin. John Preston has experienced an existence enough for multiple life times. Preston's path lead him to the realization that nothing is what it seems, most of all ourselves. Breaking the false persona we have been imprisoned in, is the start to living your own life and not the program we have been following. Hidden knowledge about our true selves and the universe, the Police State, Social Programming and surviving Natural Disasters. Are just a fraction of the battle fronts in this war of spiritual as well as physical attrition to enslave man kind. Although real freedom puts you in control of your existence, it also means there are no SOP’s to your life or authority waiting to issue a new order. Question#46 only has one mission, to assist you in becoming a well rounded, confident, successful operator in this multi-layered world.
