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.

This is a nuanced conversation about trust, compromise, and why jealousy might actually be pointing you toward something important.
