Author: Sony Music Entertainment / Jonathan Van Ness February 26, 2025 Duration: 49:06
Jealousy—it's messy, maddening, and sometimes downright mortifying. But what if we told you it’s also one of our greatest teachers? This week, JVN is sitting down with relationship coach extraordinaire and author Jillian Turecki to unpack the real meaning behind our green-eyed moments. From romantic jealousy to career envy to the kind of retroactive spirals that have you side-eyeing your partner’s ex from ten years ago—Jillian breaks down why we feel jealous, what it reveals about us, and how we can transform it into a tool for growth rather than a source of self-sabotage. Jillian Turecki is a relationship coach, teacher, podcaster, writer, and speaker who has devoted her life to helping people revolutionize their relationships with themselves.
