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.
