Female jealousy

I get jealous of other women all the time. And I know other women have been jealous of me. I think it’s a universal experience. It’s alright to say it.

This fabric of female society that were mending together has a lot of rips and tears. Each person has overcome some part of it in their lives but it’s too immense to hold the whole thing. We look at other women and what they’ve overcome and we feel jealous.

I think men get jealous of each other too but there is less shame around it and when it happens between friends, it is friendly competition. But women are disempowered, so only the lower vibration of jealousy is the ‘acceptable’ experience.

Jealousy is a guide to inspire and motivate and lead us, despite it being uncomfortable. When I get jealous of something my friends have I accept it like it’s tough love from a coach: hey you should raise for standards on this. You should examine and heal this. You can do better. When you celebrate other women for something you don’t have, you are subconsciously telling your body: I can have this too.
