In this episode of Big Meaningful Life, I open up a conversation most of us avoid: jealousy — the emotion we’re taught to hide, suppress, and feel ashamed of.
I share why this emotion matters, what it reveals about our deepest desires, and how we can transform it into clarity and direction instead of silence and self-judgment.

This conversation comes from real coaching sessions and my own lived experience, and I hope it invites you to soften, reflect, and reclaim jealousy as a powerful form of emotional intelligence. 

5 reflections you’ll walk away with

• A different way to understand jealousy — not as a flaw, but as information about what matters most to you.
• Why naming an emotion reduces its intensity and expands emotional capacity.
• How to transform comparison into clarity and action instead of shame and withdrawal.
• Why jealousy often points toward direction, desire, and identity, not insecurity.
• How emotional honesty can dissolve isolation and strengthen connection.

Jealousy isn’t proof that you’re behind. It’s proof that you’re awake — and paying attention.
So here’s a question: If jealousy is pointing to something you deeply want, what might it be trying to show you about who you’re becoming next?
