Jealousy is a complex, uncomfortable feeling and of course, at Mixed Media Minds, you know we always run towards complexity and discomfort, not away from it. In this week’s episode, we try to make sense of the situations where we experience jealousy - whether it stems from envying professional success, admirable character traits we see in the people around us, or missed opportunities to be visible and recognized in the ways we crave to be seen. 

Part of this episode is dedicated to being honest about where jealousy comes from for us, shedding light on this feeling and phenomenon that we often grapple with privately but don’t necessarily engage with openly and honestly - even with each other. Beyond identifying what makes us jealous, the big question on our minds here is: how do we deal with this complex feeling? How can we turn this sometimes unhealthy dynamic into something fruitful for our own growth?
