When your friends get pregnant… but you’re not ready yet. Taryn and Michela get brutally honest about jealousy in friendships and family — the healthy kind vs. the toxic kind that ruins relationships.
Michela shares the raw sting she feels every time someone announces a pregnancy while she’s still waiting. Taryn reveals the shocking time close friends and family made her apologize for being pregnant — and what it taught her about real jealousy.
This episode dives deep into: • When envy becomes toxic (and when it doesn’t) • Do you owe jealous people grace? • At what point do you walk away from friends who can’t celebrate your wins?
