Jealousy in relationships can feel like a storm—uncomfortable, irrational, and shameful. In this episode, we explore how doing "The Work" of Byron Katie can shift the way you experience jealousy, moving it from a painful emotion to a guidepost for deeper clarity, boundaries, and self-honesty.

1. Discover how questioning the thought "he should be open and honest" can transform your emotional landscape.

2. Learn why trying to suppress jealousy might be less healthy than confronting it head-on.

3. See how uncovering your true needs and fears can bring unexpected peace—even in triggering situations.

Listen now to uncover how a single belief, when questioned deeply, can lead to emotional freedom and healthier relationships.
