361 — You’re Not a Bad Person for Feeling Envy. Here’s What You Can Actually Learn From It With Dr. Stacey Kim
19/10/2026 | 46 minHave you ever gotten good news from a friend and felt bad instead of happy for them? Or someone in the group chat announced they’re pregnant — and instead of feeling excited, you felt a little sick to your stomach. And then you felt guilty for feeling that way, so you typed “congratulations” and moved on.
The truth is, all of us feel envy sometimes. But most of us have been taught to get rid of it. We’ve heard that comparison is the thief of joy. G my guest today says that’s because envy isn’t a sign that there’s something wrong with you — it’s information about what you actually want.
My guest is Dr. Stacy Kim, a social scientist who has done research at Columbia University’s National Center for Children and Families and the Families and Work Institute. Her new book is Envy.
Some of the things we discuss are:
The real difference between envy and jealousy and why using them interchangeably keeps you stuck
Why “comparison is the thief of joy” is bad advice
The four components of envy that reveal what your envy is actually trying to tell you
What envy means about the gap between where you are and where you want to be
The intangible desire hiding underneath every object of your envy
Why gratitude isn’t the antidote to envy
The Korean word for envy that doesn’t exist in English and how having two words for it changes everything
Why high achievers and over-givers tend to experience more envy
The four questions to ask yourself on an index card the next time envy shows up
How to handle the hardest kind of envy
The Therapist’s Take: My top three strategies for letting your envy teach you something starting today

16/10/2026 | 22 minAre you always the one who reaches out first? You send the text, plan the dinner, and remember everyone’s birthday. At some point you start to wonder, if I just stopped trying, would anyone even notice?
So you start keeping track about who called last and whose turn it is to invite everyone. But keeping score just makes you more resentful.
Today I’m sharing three ways to stop keeping score, how to tell whether a friendship is truly one-sided, and what to do when you’ve tried everything and it still doesn’t feel reciprocal.
Some of the things I talk about are:
The way I sometimes keep score in relationships.
What my survey of couples revealed about resentment, and why the same thing happens in friendships.
How keeping score fuels resentment.
How hidden frustration can create the pattern you're trying to avoid.
The one question that tells you whether your friend is in a hard season or just not invested.
Why dropping hints backfires, and what to say when you feel taken advantage of.
The difference between making a healthy sacrifice and becoming a martyr.
What to do when you’ve tried everything and the friendship still feels one-sided.

12/10/2026 | 43 minDo you notice things other people miss , like a shift in someone’s tone or tension in the room before anyone says a word? Do you need more time to recover than the people around you, so even a fun party or a good work trip can leave you completely wiped out for days?
If that sounds like you, chances are someone has told you at some point that you’re too sensitive. Maybe you’ve even wondered if there’s something wrong with you.
My guest today is April Snow, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with highly sensitive people. And she shares some strategies that can help you be your best when you're a sensitive person.
Some of the things we discuss are:
The six traits that tell you whether you’re actually a highly sensitive person
What the research actually shows about the strengths that come with being a highly sensitive person
Why 90% of HSPs need more sleep
Why HSPs feel joy more intensely than other people
The difference between being a highly sensitive person and just being an introvert
How to spot the “ghosts” from the past that make a current emotion feel bigger than the moment deserves
Why “think more, worry less” is actually the right advice for HSPs
Why giving yourself more processing time can actually quiet your mind
How to set boundaries without the guilt
The Therapist’s Take: My top three strategies for working with your sensitivity instead of against it

09/10/2026 | 20 minAre you the person everyone comes to? Someone asks you to cover a shift, join the committee, host the gathering, or help with the move, and the yes comes out before you’ve even thought about it. Then you’re driving home wondering, why did I just agree to that?
Saying yes to everything doesn’t make people appreciate you more. It can teach them your time isn’t worth much, and it can take a toll on your health, your career, and your relationships. Today I’m sharing four boundaries that help you stop saying yes to everything, even if you’re everyone’s go-to person.
Some of the things I talk about are:
The “30-minute” favor I agreed to that kept growing, and why I didn’t speak up sooner.
The surprising reason one of my therapy clients got passed over for a promotion for 10 years.
What research says about how being the go-to person affects burnout, job satisfaction, and happiness.
The simple default phrase that buys you time before the yes slips out.
Why giving a long excuse when you say no backfires, and what to say instead.
How nodding along when you disagree teaches people your agreement doesn’t mean anything.
What “role creep” is, and how to spot it at work and at home.
Why feeling guilty doesn’t mean you did something wrong.
What to do when your boundaries have slipped and it feels too late to set them.

05/10/2026 | 44 minHave you ever downloaded a meditation app you swore you were going to use? Or bought a journal that's still sitting on your nightstand? Or promised yourself that starting Monday, you'd finally do that 20-minute morning routine that was going to change everything — only to abandon it a week later?
Most of us have some version of that story. And we usually decide it means we lack self-discipline, that we're not the kind of person who follows through, that we just can't stick with anything.
But my guest today says time is the real problem. Dr. Eli Susman, a psychologist and former Harvard researcher who coined the term micropractice — well-being practices that take 30 seconds or less.
Some of the things we discuss are:
The three-breath meditation retreat moment that launched Eli's research into micro practices
The 20-second self-compassionate touch exercise that produced results comparable to much more time-intensive interventions
Why consistency matters more than duration wellness habits
The micropractice that lowers mortality risk by 44–54%
How to boost your productivity by 15% in under 30 seconds
How to develop a cue that reminds you to engage in your habit
The four types of micro practices
The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for building wellness habits that actually stick
