We explore how to work with envy in our own lives, and how to acknowledge it in the lives of our friends and family to protect important relationships.</p> <p>Dr Em, we&rsquo;ll see you for the sequel on jealousy soon.</p> <p>To watch the full episode: <a href="https://youtu.be/B7acUnoekSc">https://youtu.be/B7acUnoekSc</a></p> <p>0:00 &ndash; Envy vs Jealousy 9:08 &ndash; Keeping up with the Jones&rsquo; 8:16 &ndash; A message around &lsquo;enoughness&rsquo; 25:12 &ndash; The energy of being a hater 36:50 &ndash; A deep longing for a difference experience 42:13 &ndash; On the flip side 52:45 - Acknowledge the hard 59:18 &ndash; The social emotion 1:07:18 &ndash; Working with envy</p> <p>🫖Imperfects episodes mentioned in this episode</p> <ul> <li>Dave Hughes - Me, Myself &amp; Ego - <a href="https://bit.ly/4ua3mSP">https://bit.ly/4ua3mSP</a></li> <li>Hamish Blake - Let&rsquo;s Talk About Self-Doubt - <a href="https://bit.ly/4fl7omR">https://bit.ly/4fl7omR</a></li> <li>Dr Emily - Acceptance, That&rsquo;s Radical - <a href="https://bit.ly/4ugEHwe">https://bit.ly/4ugEHwe</a></li> </ul> <p>💻Things to check out</p> <ul> <li>Leon Festinger&rsquo;s Social Comparison Theory - <a href="https://bit.ly/4npfIE5">https://bit.ly/4npfIE5</a></li> </ul> <p>📺Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>&lsquo;Onesies&rsquo; Bluey episode - <a href="https://bit.ly/4eGTqLS">https://bit.ly/4eGTqLS</a></li> </ul> <p>📖Things to read</p> <ul> <li>The Way We Are, by Hugh Mackay - <a href="https://bit.ly/4wsJuff">https://bit.ly/4wsJuff</a></li> <li>Status Anxiety, by Alain de Botton - <a href="https://bit.ly/4tvbGeL">https://bit.ly/4tvbGeL</a></li> </ul> <p>🩷To host your own Vulnerabilitea House, purchase here -&nbsp;<a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz">http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz</a></p> <p>🩵To purchase our journal (or your novel)&nbsp;<em>My Imperfect Life,</em>&nbsp;click here -&nbsp;<a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuWz"></a><a href="http://bit.ly/4lyuuW">http://bit.ly/4lyuuW</a></p> <p>🩵To join our subscriber community, <em>A Little More Imperfects,</em> follow this link - <a href="http://bit.ly/4mqunxu">http://bit.ly/4mqunxu</a></p> <p>🩷 AND you can subscribe to <em>A Little More Imperfects</em> through Apple Podcasts too, here - <a href="http://apple.co/theimperfects">http://apple.co/theimperfects</a></p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
