Why her success triggered me — and what I did about it.

We're getting honest about the sneaky ways comparison shows up—when someone else's glow dims your vibe. From jealousy to self-judgment to spiritual guilt, this episode explores how to shift from despair to peace using real-life stories, spiritual tools, and self-forgiveness.

Have you ever secretly felt small in someone else's glow?

Maybe you've thought: "It should've been me."

Or felt a flicker of relief when someone else hit a bump in the road.

Yep. Us too.

In this raw and revealing episode, the Lemonettes share real-life moments of "compare and despair" — from jealousy in a class, to resentment in recovery, to a sneaky flash of schadenfreude at a friend's misfortune.

We talk about:

• What comparison really reveals about our inner world

• Why it hurts so much (and how fast it can spiral)

• The power of turning it over to Spirit

• Forgiveness, emotional validation, and practical spiritual tools

• How to stop judging your insides by someone else's outsides

Whether you're doing A Course in Miracles or just trying to keep your heart open in a world of curated highlight reels, this conversation is a balm.

• Mindset reframes for jealousy, self-criticism, and fear of not being enough
