Pre-P.S. A release date has been announced for Death By Drop Spindle (learn more here)

A few years ago, I watched someone in my industry land an opportunity I really wanted. The kind of opportunity that could open doors, expand reach, and solidify credibility. And I won’t lie—jealousy hit me hard. That sinking feeling in my stomach, the little voice whispering, Why not me?

But instead of letting envy paralyze me, I flipped the script. I asked myself: If they can do it, why not me too? I studied what steps they took, how they positioned themselves, and where I could refine my own path. That moment of jealousy turned into fuel, pushing me to take bolder action. And before long, I found myself creating my own version of that opportunity—one that fit me even better.

Quick Tip: Turn Jealousy into Your Secret Weapon

Jealousy and envy are human emotions—we all feel them. But the real challenge isn’t the feeling itself; it’s the story we tell ourselves about it. Instead of letting jealousy drag you down, use it as a guide.

When you feel that twinge of envy, ask yourself: What is this feeling trying to tell me? Is it pointing to a goal you’ve been neglecting? A dream you’re afraid to chase?

Rather than sitting in frustration, let jealousy be a spark. Use it to propel yourself forward, take action, and get unstuck.

What’s one thing jealousy has revealed to you lately? Comment below and let me know!

A rising tide lifts all boats!
