<div class="">Lindsay tells this story to set the tone for this episode. </div> <div class=""> </div> <div class=""> <div class=""><em class="">A few weeks ago I as running my favorite stairs.  It was cold out and the fresh air felt so good and I had a full hour of alone time and my plan was to not think about a million things… just get outside and listen to loud music and sweat. </em></div> <div class=""><em class=""> </em></div> <div class=""><em class="">Well that all changed when at the top of the stairs there were two teenagers passionately kissing on the bench.  I did a few laps and they were still there, and did a few more and they were still there and I was like Jesus these kids should be in school… I’m sure their parents don’t know they are ditching… and I mean how long can you kiss outside??? </em></div> <div class=""><em class=""> </em></div> <div class=""><em class="">And then I was like… these judgey thoughts are more like jealously really than anything.  How nice it must be to be young and not have this crazy complicated  life with lots of kids and not a lot of daytime passionate kissing moments.  </em></div> <div class=""><em class=""> </em></div> <div class=""><em class="">Here’s the lesson I wish I would have learned sooner.</em></div> <div class=""><em class=""> </em></div> <div class=""><em class="">When you feel jealous, lean into it. </em></div> <div class=""><em class="">I think it’s almost always either you should take a step back from someone or unfollow them if they don’t make you feel great about yourself… OR… maybe it’s a reflection of something you wish you had in your life.  And there is so much to learn from that.  </em></div> <div class=""> </div> </div> <div class=""> </div> <div class=""> </div> <div class="">Other key points in this podcast: </div> <div class=""> </div> <div class=""> <div class="">-HUGE part of this is realizing jealously is normal and we can make it a positive.  Be honest and vulnerable and lean into it- even talk about it. </div> <div class=""> </div> </div> <
