Episode 14: Honesty about Feeling Jealous of Others' Success in Business (and How To Use It for Good)
One website visit gave me the feelings of jealousy that inspired building this podcast and Well Women Business. I'm getting honest today about the emotion most of us pretend we don't feel... jealousy over another woman's success. I tell you exactly what I saw on that stranger's website that planted the seed for my Costa Rica retreat, why I disagree with the online guru who says you should never feel jealous, and the four-step process I use to turn jealousy into real data about what I want as a woman CEO. If comparison has ever hit you like a gut punch while you're scaling your own health or wellness business, this one is for you.
