Listen Later

Jealousy gets a bad reputation, but what if it isn’t always toxic or controlling? In this episode, Rosie and Roula unpack a real-life situation that sparked jealousy, control, vulnerability, and a deeper conversation about love languages, boundaries, and emotional safety in relationships. They talk honestly about owning jealousy without shame, the difference between control and communication, and how unmet needs can quietly turn into resentment when they’re not voiced. This is a nuanced conversation about trust, compromise, and why jealousy might actually be pointing you toward something important.

  • Jealousy in relationships and why it shows up
