What does Jealousy in the workplace look like? 

Because I speak to alot of women in different spaces and this topic comes up in very diverse shape and forms. And no...Nobody has ever turned green with envy. That's not what happens in the real world. And so here's why it's confusing..because on the one hand you want to connect and be part of a meaningful work culture where you trust and honor your co-workers. But that doesn't always happen. 

Jealousy – if we are truly introspective is actually a mask emotion. It's a mask for something else, and it tells us something about ourselves. It's usually something we don't want to see...

For instance you might be an older women who is jealous of your younger female colleaugu, on the face of it you probably dislike her because she comes across as arrogant and self-assured. But on a deeper level it could be something you admire and wish you possesed when you were younger – this ability to speak your mind without having to compromise yourself. 

Sometimes we are jealous of women who are actually very similar to us, but the difference is they have the courage to step into their most authentic self – resonating with incredible self-belief.

You're probably wondering, what is that? 

Is it a song? Yes it is, but that's not what this episode is about. 

the song Wide Open Spaces by the dixi chicks: – which funny enough is a song about women who leave home to pursue their dreams, which involves giving yourself permission to making some mistakes along the way. Great message btw...

In our everyday lives wide open spaces are significant - they are there to serve a purpose.

My one night with Elizabeth Gilbert in Cologne. 

Elizabeth Gilbert is the author of ten books — most famously her 2006 memoir EAT PRAY LOVE, which has been translated into over thirty languages, and sold 12 million copies worldwide. Her TED talk on creative genius is one of the twenty most viewed TED talks of all time, and her book BIG MAGIC has encouraged untold numbers of readers to choose curiosity over fear. 

Here's my take on the event and all the things she inspired when she said, the most revolutionary thing right now would be a 'relaxed women' Also it's all going to be okay!
