0:00.0	Girlfriends, Episode Number 457, How to Overcome Jealousy.
0:12.7	Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission to help you.
0:19.2	Know your worth is a woman so you can find peace,
0:21.2	balance, and joy in daily living. This week we are talking about a very common problem that we
0:25.7	don't often talk about, I think, enough, which is jealousy. Can't wait to dive into this
0:30.6	important topic. Let's get started. Hey, girlfriend, how are you? So glad you are joining me here for this newest episode of the
0:43.6	Girlfriend's podcast. We're going to be talking about jealousy today. And this topic comes from a
0:48.5	listener who wrote in back, I don't know how many episodes ago that I took on her question.
0:54.0	And I thought, this is actually
0:55.6	something that we could do an entire episode about, because if there's something that any human

1:22.6	others, where we're seeking our self-worth in the way that we measure up compared to other
1:27.3	people. Sometimes we feel like we're falling short. That's when we're seeking our self-worth in the way that we measure up compared to other people.
1:28.2	Sometimes we feel like we're falling short. That's when we're tempted toward jealousy, envy.
1:34.3	This sin is a common one. And I want to talk about it because it's such a destructive force
1:40.2	in our lives when we don't address it, when we maybe just accept it or we just try to stuff it
1:46.2	down and hide it, it just becomes even stronger that way and more of a destructive force
1:53.4	in our lives. Before we dive into that, though, I just want to remind folks, are you over on
1:58.8	Substack with us yet? Are you over at Girlfriends on Substack? Yeah,
