Jealousy in friendship doesn’t have to be toxic — it can actually teach you something. In this week’s episode of The Art of Classiness Podcast, we’re breaking down the different ways jealousy shows up between friends and how to turn it into growth instead of guilt.

From the friend who ghosts when you’re thriving, to the one who peppers you with “concern” questions, to the classic “must be nice” side-comment, we explore what’s really going on — and how not to be that friend yourself.

• Why jealousy is often a mirror for our own unmet desires
• How to celebrate your friends even when you’re struggling
• Scripts for addressing jealousy without blowing up the friendship
• Ways to catch yourself when envy creeps in — and flip it into admiration

This isn’t about shaming jealousy. It’s about using it as a tool for deeper self-awareness — and for building stronger, healthier friendships.

This week, Robin and Deborah are back in the Reddit trenches with another Am I the Asshole? episode — and the stories are messier than ever. From a shocking betrayal between lifelong friends, to the fallout of uninvited weddings, to drawing boundaries with men who don’t want relationships, we’re digging into the drama and asking: who’s really at fault?

Expect debates, devil’s advocate moments, and plenty of hot takes as we unpack what these stories say about loyalty, boundaries, and how to know when a friendship has run its course.

Perfect for anyone who loves messy hypotheticals, hard truths, and the reminder that sometimes… the internet is all of us.
