Positively Powerful

Jealousy, Self-Compassion, and the Inner Work


Listen Later

Episode Overview

In this candid and heartfelt episode of Positively Powerful, host Scott Fitzgerald sits down with radical life coach Stacey Steinmiller for an honest conversation about one of the most relatable — and least talked about — emotions we experience: jealousy.

Scott opens up about the sting of watching others seemingly get handed opportunities they didn’t earn, while hardworking people grind away without the same advantages. From there, the conversation deepens into the belief systems that fuel jealousy, the power of self-compassion, the fear of running out of time, and why the real work is always an inside job.

This episode is part live stream, part therapy session — and that’s exactly what makes it so good.
