    Jealousy & Yoga (solo)

    This episode delves into jealousy, envy, and insecurity from a yogic perspective. Jessica distinguishes jealousy (fear of loss) from envy (desire), linking both to a sense of lack and ego (Maya).

The discussion highlights how social hierarchies, wealth, beauty, youth, and social media fuel comparison and insecurity, but yoga can help us to understand the soul’s wholeness, dharma, and karma. Practical advice is given for managing jealousy, including recognizing patterns, setting boundaries, and using inner work like meditation and gratitude for personal growth.
