“What Your Jealousy Is Trying to Tell You”

In today’s episode, we’re leaning into a topic most of us try to avoid or hide: jealousy. Whether it shows up in our relationships, our calling, our social media scroll, or in those quiet moments when we compare our lives to someone else’s, jealousy has a way of exposing deep places within us. But instead of shaming ourselves for feeling it, what if we listened to what our jealousy is trying to show us?

In this episode, we explore:

Why jealousy isn’t the enemy, silence is
How jealousy reveals unhealed wounds, unmet needs, or forgotten desires
Practical ways to turn jealousy into growth, clarity, and self-compassion
How can we use our uncomfortable emotions to guide us toward healing

Jealousy is often a signal, not a sentence. It can point to:

• places where we feel insecure,
• dreams we’ve buried,
• identity we haven’t claimed, or
• pain we’ve never fully addressed.

Instead of running from these feelings, we’re learning to examine them with honesty and courage.
Because where jealousy speaks, we invite healing.

In Part 4 of the Midlife Reset Challenge, we’re confronting one of the most persistent midlife roadblocks: self-doubt. If you've ever asked, “Am I too old?” or “Is it too late to start over?” This episode is your answer.

Renee breaks down how self-doubt masks itself as logic, how it keeps us small, and most importantly—how to shift into self-trust. These tools are simple, but powerful enough to transform how you show up for yourself every single day.

📝 What You’ll Learn:

• How to identify the sneaky ways self-doubt shows up in midlife
• The role of perimenopause, life transitions, and cultural messaging in undermining our confidence
• Three clear steps to move from self-doubt to self-trust
• How to rebuild trust with yourself through small, consistent actions

🔑 Key Takeaways:

1. Speak the truth to yourself daily. Create a “Truth List” of your strengths.
2. Build trust with small wins. Keep promises to yourself and celebrate progress.
3. Comparison is not your friend. Your journey is sacred and on time.
