EP214: The Ugly Truth About Envy: How to Release the Shame and Let It Guide You


Listen Later

"A lot of us have a negative perception of envy. We were taught that wanting something that somebody else has is bad. And when you feel bad about this, guilt and then shame typically follow." -- Meg

In this episode:

  • The key difference between jealousy and envy — and why that matters for your growth
  • How envy can actually reveal your next aligned desire (instead of being something to hide)
  • Why comparison sneaks up on us in the age of social media — and how to find peace with it
  • Practical ways to shift envy into gratitude and use it as your energetic North Star

After nearly a full year of pouring my heart, time, and energy into my book proposal — ten long months of writing, rewriting, and manifesting — the moment finally arrived. The email I’d been waiting for hit my inbox. In today's episode, I share what happened next — and the surprising emotion that showed up when I read those results.

This story turned into one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned about trust, alignment, and what it really means when someone else has the thing you want. We’re diving deep into envy — the emotion no one likes to admit to, but everyone feels. Together, we’ll break down the difference between jealousy and envy, uncover why envy isn’t as “ugly” as we’ve been taught, and learn how to turn it into a compass that guides you toward your true desires. You’ll walk away with a whole new understanding of comparison, gratitude, and how to use those emotions as powerful tools for self-awareness and growth.
