A friend told me she was jealous of a couple at a party, and she said it like a confession, like she'd done something wrong.

It reminded me of a client I had years ago, a sweet man coming out of a really dark time, who told me he'd felt awful and jealous watching his friend get married.

And I surprised him. I said, that's so exciting. It means your heart's still beating in there. It means you still want love.

This is an episode about jealousy as information, not as a judgment on your character.

Question to carry into your day:
What has your jealousy been trying to show you that you actually want?

I threw myself a party for fifteen years sober, and I planned every piece of it alone, right down to buying my own birthday cake. For days my friends kept asking what they could bring, and I kept saying I'm fine, I got it.

Then the day before, my spiritual advisor Stephanie asked if I was excited, and I heard myself say: I'm realizing I asked no one for help.

This is an episode about why we call it strength to do it all alone.

Question to carry into your day:
Where are you calling it strength to do it alone, when it's actually a door you're keeping shut?

I do this wild Pilates class on a crazy machine, where you can work off the front, which is the regular hard, or off the back, which is brutal.

First day back this fall, the instructor had written the whole class off the back, and I wanted to see if I could do it, no modifications. I could, and I was so proud. Then I was so wrecked I couldn't work out for two days.

This is an episode about the difference between the hard that builds you and the hard that just wrecks you.

Question to carry into your day:
Where are you going all the way to the back of the machine, when the front would build you more?
