We all have feelings we wish we didn’t. Jealousy, resentment, comparison...the kind of emotions that make us feel a little gross, even though they’re totally human. In this advice column episode, I’m answering three Hello Hayes advice letters about:

💔 A former friend struggling to let go of resentment toward their ex-best friend’s success

🤰 A woman grieving a miscarriage while navigating her cousin’s pregnancy (TW: See timestamps below to skip this section!)

💍 And a bride-to-be who suddenly isn’t sure if size matters when it comes to engagement rings

Instead of pretending we’re above it all, let’s actually unpack these feelings and figure out how to deal with them.

TIMESTAMPS:

12:40 - Letter 2: My cousin’s pregnancy announcement hit me hard

25:23 - Letter 3: My fiancé’s twin bought a bigger ring... and now I feel weird
