What’s Coming This Episode?

Envy, one of the seven deadly sins, is something that a good chunk of the population will struggle with at some point. The thing is, envy, desire, jealously, et al. are all forms of anxiety – we’re projecting forward to a future that is not yet here.

It’s not all bad though, as those pangs of envy can drive us forward to achieve some remarkable things.

Enjoy this weeks episode of The Self Help Podcast!
