What happens when you’re genuinely grateful for your life… and still catch yourself looking sideways at somebody else’s?

Joyce, Judy, and Amie dig into the surprisingly sneaky connection between envy, happiness, and contentment—and discover that coveting doesn’t always look like wanting someone else’s house, clothes, or stuff.

Sometimes it looks like wishing your family circumstances were different. Wanting the security someone else has. Grieving an experience you may never get. Or quietly deciding that one more thing might finally make you happy.

This conversation gets tender, funny, and very honest as the girls ask what it really means to be content without pretending there aren’t things we still wish were different.
