EP46: The Jealous Friend (And When It’s You)

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.
