Jealousy is a natural emotion that all humans experience. Yet we tend to fight jealousy and allow it to destroy our confidence rather than work with it. In this podcast, we explore how to transform your relationship to jealousy and make it work for, not against, you.
We explore the four primary sources of jealousy:
- Possessiveness
- Feelings of Lack or Deprivation
- Envy
- Fear of Change
In this podcast you’ll find advice on how to change your relationship to jealousy and let it be your teacher. You can use jealousy to figure out what you want and need in life, and let it motivate you to ask for what you want from your lover. Jealousy can also be used as a tool for improving self esteem and confidence. Tune in to find out how!
We also cover the opposite of jealousy: compersion. Compersion means finding joy in your partner’s happiness and fulfillment, even if you are not the source of that happiness. We dare you to experiment with making room for erotic compersion and emotional compersion in order to allow your lover more room for growth and fulfillment.
