Own The Feels: Own The Green-eyed Monster

Listen to the full episode on our Culture Vulture feed, wherever you get your podcasts!

Welcome back to Own The Feels - brought to you in partnership with Love Better - where we’re doing our damnedest to help us break-up better - which means owning whatever we’re feeling and learning how to deal with it. 

Why, when we break-up with someone, is jealousy often our overriding emotion? I mean it makes sense - you’ve put so much time into this person, you might have even helped them grow into a healthier version of themselves, and now you don’t get to have them in your life anymore? It sucks - but we’re here to help. We can give you a few tips on how to curb the jealousy, how to spot when it moves into obsessive territory, and how to focus on YOU, rather than on them. 

A huge thank you to Love Better, and everyone who gave us their stories to make these podcasts possible. If you want to know more about how to break-up better, listen to next week's episode, and head to https://www.vice.com/en/topic/love-better.
