Jealousy in relationships isn’t just about insecurity — it often reveals a deeper wound of feeling “not enough.”

In this episode of the Together Podcast, Mike and Courtney explore how jealousy, comparison, and fear of replacement arise inside intimate partnerships. Beneath the surface reactions of control, accusation, or emotional withdrawal often lives a deeper story: the not-enough wound.

Drawing from their own relationship experiences and years of working with couples, Mike and Courtney unpack how jealousy can become either destructive or transformative depending on how partners meet it.

In this conversation you’ll learn:

• What jealousy is really trying to reveal in relationships
• How the “not enough” wound shows up in both partners
• Why comparison creates distance and disconnection
• How couples can turn jealousy into deeper intimacy
• What it means to heal side by side rather than alone

Rather than seeing jealousy as something to eliminate, Mike and Courtney explore how it can become a doorway into vulnerability, truth, and deeper partnership.
