Are You Jealous Of Your Friend? (Most People Won't Admit This)

Nobody wants to admit they're the jealous friend. But if so many people are experiencing jealousy from others — somebody has to be on the other side of that equation. In this episode, Dr. Cecelia Baldwin, licensed therapist, tackles the part of friendship jealousy that almost no one is willing to examine: the jealousy we carry ourselves. → Why jealousy is information, not a character flaw — and what it's actually pointing to → The difference between jealousy and grief, and why so much of what we feel is really the latter → How unmanaged jealousy silently changes your behavior and damages friendships over time → The self-reflection exercise that traces a feeling all the way back to its real source → What emotional maturity actually looks like when jealousy shows up in a friendship → Why the healthiest people aren't the ones who never feel jealous — they're the ones who know what to do when they do This episode is not here to make you feel bad, instead it's a mirror so you can heal and show up as a better friend by telling the whole truth.
