How I stopped being Jealous and Started Loving My Life

Jealousy and FOMO (fear of missing out) are feelings we've all experienced in our hyper-connected, digital world. From scrolling through social media feeds filled with perfect vacations and entrepreneurial success stories, it's easy to feel like you're missing out on something better. But what if there was a way to find contentment and fulfillment right where you are?

In this video, I share how reading the book 4000 Weeks introduced me to the concept of JOMO (the joy of missing out) and how I took it a step further by embracing SOMO—the satisfaction of missing out. SOMO is about finding peace and satisfaction in your own life, without feeling the need to be everywhere or do everything.

Join me as I discuss the difference between JOMO and SOMO and share practical steps to help you overcome jealousy and FOMO. Whether it's recognizing your triggers, limiting your exposure to them, or focusing on your own journey, SOMO can lead you to a more fulfilling and present life.
