Thieves of Joy

Yasmeen Jalilah

I didn’t start this podcast because I had the answers. I started it because I finally began asking the right questions — in therapy, on my own couch, and in random moments when I thought, wait… that’s what’s been happening to me. Thieves of Joy is a podcast about self-awareness (and the lack thereof), emotional honesty, blind spots, growth, contradictions, and becoming more aware in real time. Whether you’re in therapy, thinking about starting, or simply trying to understand yourself more honestly — this space is for you. Welcome to Thieves of Joy. We’re figuring it out together. 🖤

    Relational Jealousy — When Jealousy Is Actually Grief

    In this episode of Thieves of Joy, I talk about relational jealousy — the kind rooted not in competition, but in grief, longing, and emotional safety. We explore nervous systems, hypervigilance, attachment, and the deeper ache underneath comparison. If you’ve ever felt emotionally “behind” or wondered why certain relationships or family dynamics trigger something deep inside you, this episode is for you.

    Trailer | Welcome to Thieves of Joy

    Welcome to Thieves of Joy. In this trailer episode, I share why I started this podcast and the heart behind this space. This is a podcast about becoming more self-aware in real time — unlearning, healing, seeking help, becoming unstuck, and navigating the messy, human process of growth with honesty and compassion. We’re figuring it out together. 🖤
