111: On Envy

Pattern of Purpose

We all know that social media isn’t everything—it’s a snapshot. Swap that out for newsletters, podcasts, or however you stay connected. We see flashes of success and think, “They’re killing it.”

Some of us are saddled with home responsibilities we’ve never had before — kids being at home 24/7, dishes and cleaning, schooling during the day and working until midnight. Others have had tremendous space to create as the world loosened up on its hurried expectations. But we’ve all experienced envy.

Despite what you’ve heard, envy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In this episode I’m sharing:

• Why we need to pay more attention to what we’re envious of,
• Important questions to ask yourself to assess whether envy is helpful or harmful,
• A surprising action I took when I was recently feeling jealous, and
• Keeping your sights on the life you want your business to afford you.
