Summer Jealousy: When Other Moms' Lives Look Better


Listen Later

You're scrolling through photos of other families' beach vacations, summer camps, and picture-perfect backyard barbecues — while you're sweating through another day at home wondering if your kids are watching too much TV.

Summer jealousy is real. And it can ruin an otherwise perfectly good season.

In this episode, I tackle comparison head-on — especially during the months when everyone else's life looks way more fun.

We talk about: * Why comparison is especially brutal during summer months * How social media distorts reality (you know this, but you need to hear it again) * What Catholic teaching on envy and contentment can actually do for your peace * How to enjoy YOUR summer instead of wishing for someone else's
