Today’s episode is one that all of us experience but few of us actually talk about...jealousy and envy. Homegirl at the office stays winning. Your bestie in another city is getting closer to someone else. Which one is envy? Which one is jealousy?

What other feelings come up? Often times they are used interchangeably and incorrect. Terri and Dom help us clarify what each term means. Then they walk us through multiple real-life examples to help us parse out what each word looks like when played out.

What are the questions we need to ask to navigate each situation? Scroll down for some helpful tips.

By the way, shout out to Meg Thee Stallion for those bomb-ass knees :)
