What if your envy wasn’t something to be ashamed of… but something to listen to?

I had a conversation recently with someone who shared that they’d been feeling a lot of envy.
They spoke about it like it was some kind of failure or weakness.
They’d even been judging themselves for it, calling it a shameful emotion.

But here’s the truth: no emotion is shameful.

Emotions aren’t good or bad, right or wrong - they’re just messengers. They show up to guide as. To get our attention. To wake us up.

Envy is no different.

Instead of pushing envy away or layering it with shame, I invited this person to lean in. To get curious and ask: 

✨ What is this feeling and person trying to show me?
✨ What desire is sitting underneath this envy?
✨ What do I need to bring forth in my own life so this envy can dissolve - having done its job?

Because that’s the thing: emotions don’t come to torment us.

They come to lead us back to ourselves.

When we make space for even the trickiest of feelings - envy, anger or resentment for example, we stop fighting with our inner world and we open a doorway to growth.

So if you’ve been feeling envious of someone lately... pause. Instead of judging yourself, listen. What’s the envy trying to wake up in you?

And if you want support navigating emotions like these - if you're ready for deep, powerful conversations that lead to transformation - I’d love to work with you.
