| 0:00.0 | Hi, beautiful angels, beans of life. Welcome to today's episode. So today I'm going to be talking |
| 0:05.8 | about retroactive jealousy and overthinking. So I will explain a bit more about that in a sec. |
| 0:12.7 | But this is probably one of the most common forms of jealousy. Now, I did my podcast ages ago. |
| 0:19.9 | I think it was the third episode I ever released, which was on overcoming jealousy. |
