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! 😆 🙌
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.
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 I’m not the only one here 🤣🤣🫣 but definitely believe it’s such a powerful trigger if you use it. And it’s fascinating when I talk to people and find out how they did x, it’s rarely how I thought it played out in my own mind.
Another great article Leanne. And sometimes it's the Porshe (or the outfits) we want and not the job that gets the money to buy it. Important to know the difference.
Thinking about the specifics is a great way to drill down to what you want - I had a coach many years ago who asked me to define my ideal working environment. I put a few points down but went blank, so I Googled a whole load of articles to get ideas and ended up with a much clearer idea of what was important to me.

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.
