Thank you for sharing this very insightful post Leanne. The title had me hooked and I was curious to see how you would link it back to self-awareness, our WHY, and digging into "is this actually what I want"....and you nailed it! ๐Ÿ˜†ย ๐Ÿ™Œ

Love the practical and actionable tips on how to move forward from these feelings.

I don't experience as much envy when LI doom scrolling as I do negative self-talk and impostor syndrome. I'm doing a lot of therapy work around this so it's getting better, but the article resonated deeply with me too.

Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Yes! That little flash of remorse/envy is fabulous intell, Rav, and social media really does amplify it. Good on you for taking the steps to build up that self-talk, too.

Are you reading my mind ??? LOL - these thoughts resonated so hard an the strategy is one I keep meaning to do, then forget! I particularly loved how you helped me think about the reason behind the trigger - like "they got that gig through a pay-to-play vs what circles do I need to move in to be noticed for these opportunities too". Love this Leanne - it's frame worthy!

Thanks so much, Sally! Ok phew, glad Iโ€™m not the only one here ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿซฃ but definitely believe itโ€™s such a powerful trigger if you use it. And itโ€™s fascinating when I talk to people and find out how they did x, itโ€™s rarely how I thought it played out in my own mind.

Completely agree, Leanne. Great article.

If I'm doing career coaching work with a client, I will often ask them when/where these emotions arise and their purpose.

We don't talk about envy and jealousy and the insights that lead from these emotions enough.
