In this powerful solo episode, Shanenn cracks open a question many of us quietly carry:

“If I weren’t jealous… who would I be?”

From the deck of a cruise ship years ago to the emotional trenches of everyday hypervigilance, Shanenn walks you through how jealousy feels like its become your identity—and how to begin shedding it.

She reveals why your brain clings to jealousy like a job, how it tricks you into thinking you're protecting yourself, and the truth about what control really looks like. If you've ever spiraled over a thong-wearing dancer or found yourself interrogating a partner just to feel safe, this one’s for you.

This episode is an invitation to stop playing small, stop playing scared—and remember who you were before jealousy moved in.


💎 Golden Episode Nuggets:

  • Jealousy feels like protection, but it’s just fear in disguise
  • Hypervigilance is a survival strategy, not a love strategy
  • Your brain learned jealousy from chaos—but it’s ready to relearn
  • Without jealousy, you don’t lose love—you get your life back
  • That confident, secure version of you isn’t new. She’s just been waiting


🔑 Key Moments:

  • 1:10 – The cruise ship moment that cracked something open
  • 5:55 – When jealousy becomes a job you never applied for
  • 10:45 – Why control isn’t the same as protection
  • 14:30 – The origin story of your inner security guard
  • 20:40 – Does jealousy actually prevent betrayal—or just exhaust you?
  • 27:00 – What happens to your energy when jealousy leaves the building
  • 36:08 – Why your “security guard” isn’t crazy—just untrained
  • 41:00 – Create your own security protocol
  • 44:50 – The difference between a red flag and a one-off
  • 46:19 – How to become the version of you that trusts again


💖 Perfect for listeners who:

  • Feel like jealousy has hijacked their personality
  • Replay conversations, stalk socials, or analyze texts for clues

  • Crave deeper self-trust, emotional regulation, and a life beyond fear
