Jealousy, Live Episode
with Live conversation, Recorded in front of a live audience
Can you be genuinely happy for someone while also being absolutely raging that it wasn't you?
Someone gets the promotion, wins the award, announces the pregnancy, buys the house. You love them, you're pleased for them, and there is still a horrible little feeling in the pit of your stomach. A live conversation about the jealousy we rarely admit to and what it might be trying to tell us.
Core themes explored
- The jealousy we don't like admitting to, particularly between women
- Why someone else's success can feel like our own failure
- What envy tells us about what we actually want
- Whether jealousy can be useful once we stop pretending we never feel it

But what if envy and jealousy are not always destructive? What if we can act? What if we can use them as a signal pointing us towards what we truly want and pushing us to grow rather than than compete. Tonight's episode.
