    Something that I do that helps me when I feel jealousy towards another woman is that I immediately force myself to go and make friends with her and give her a compliment. Immediately without much thought and that helps my nervous system so much because it's me telling my brain "it's okay another beautiful woman is not a threat".

      You’re so right and by giving a complement the other person normally replies happy and with a smile which then draws you to them even more :D

      Perhaps forcing friendship is a bit too far, because eventually this behavior will slip through and could be harmful to her. I had TWO close friends who would make subtle and not so subtle remarks to put me down to feel elevated. Keeping it at a simple compliment should be enough as you are currently working on undoing this sort of harmful behavior. Seek out friendships only AFTER you've noticed a consistent change in this mindset and behavior so as to not inadvertently cause damage to another woman's inner self as you are working out your own.

    I needed this video. Currently I have decided to stop comparing myself to other women, and it's been a few weeks since I've started. I made a conscious decision to not do so when I see someone who is better dressed, prettier or more affluent. I just say "that's good for her, that doesn't make me less important or anything" and i keep it moving. And it works! But nothing changes overnight, so I am working on this daily. So thank you for this video. ❤

    I have crazy crazy trust issues. I was raised in the ghettos of Houston where you constantly had to watch your back. None of the men or women in my life truly protected me up until age 15 when I was adopted. I was molested and raped by two family members. Ever since I could remember I never felt worthy. Always feeling like I was lacking. I’ve been heartbroken more times than I can count, and relationships have never seemed to work out for me. I found myself choosing the wrong guys that never truly loved me and the wrong females that ended up betraying me over and over like a broken record. I’m just ready for this madness to stop. Even after “glowing up” i still felt like I had to keep glowing up. I’ve ever considered going under the knife to look better and better. I realize I have mental health issues. These videos help a lot.

      Thank you for all the wisdom and unique insight you share Elicia. It's really impacting my life. When it comes to confidence, my main obstacle is perfectionism. I don't want to be seen until I'm at a level I feel comfortable sharing. So, I push away intimacy and vulnerability and I hide until "I'm ready." It's such a flawed premise. I think I need to humanize everyone and accept we're all going through something similar.

    wow- I needed this really bad. I realized, only within the last 2 weeks, that my anxiety lies in my nervous system. I’m dissociated 24/7, even alone, and incredibly anxious. I feel on edge all day. It’s really severe, but I’ve masked it for like 10 years at least. I abandoned myself. Everything became a threat or somewhere to prove myself. The way I feel toward other women isn’t healthy. I’ve felt the anxiety around other women I deem as better in some way (usually my mind would go to my partner liking them more than me) and it’s so hard. I’m aware of that but I never thought until now to turn to the nervous system to heal. You’re a lovely person and I admire you a lot for making this. Thank you ❤️

    The second scenario is definitely me I didnt have a problem with women until I encountered a hidden enemy which stemmed from allowing previous friendships who would betray me, secretly competing with me and having interest in guys I would date. but I would always let it slide, and it did alot of damage that I am now undoing. I was that happy girl that thought everyone was my friend. I feel like I just need to heal and not have friends for a while until I do. Which I’m doing now. It’s definitely a process but I don’t want it to be my reality. I am looking forward to having a true girly in the future though 🥰

    I work with someone who, I hate to say it , am prettier than BUT I still lowkey find myself secretly comparing and competing. She’s outgoing and not shy, and she’s not afraid to feel her emotions. Ex: when she gets mad everyone knows, or when she happy , she’s making everyone laugh . and I wish I had those qualities as well. I seem to be nice to her but secretly enjoy when other people tell me why I’m better . What can I do to stop this ? I feel super fake and two faced.

Im in my early twenties and am really trying to focus on self growth & becoming more confident and sure of myself and I love that your content delves into how to do this. I’ve found that alot of the advice around this topic for women is reduced to mantras and circular “believe you’re beautiful because you are” ideas which hasn’t helped in building up genuine confidence in myself lol. I’ve also found a lot of such advice centers around and caters to having a very inflated ego, rather than a balanced and realistic view of yourself. Thank you so much for your inspirational words and videos!!♥️

    When I would normally say a compliment to a woman that I don’t know when I’m with my boyfriend I will keep it for myself ‘cause I don’t want him to see the same thing and then maybe compare me to her and thinks she’s better than me

Because i have broad shoulders and say i have surgery to look like a girl. But im all Woman. i feel so Depressed in my body. Cause i can never enter a room and not be a target. I feel insecure in the presence of other women. Cause i feel i dont amount or fit in with them. 😢 even though im a Woman myself.

    Hi so my boyfriend of 9 months cheated on me with his ex girlfriend who is also my neighbor. I really liked her and I always wanted to be beautiful like her. And when I didn't know what happened, my bf suddenly said that “he couldn't fall in love with me” and broke up with me. Right now they are together.He is constantly trying to show me that they have fun with her, that they are dating, he opens his car windows so I can see them singing together and it hurts me so much because what happened was not my fault. And i feel very insecure about this situation. Idk what did she have that I didn't have that he left me and went to her. I feel ugly and “used”. And right now idk how can i heal from this. I’m trying my best but its not working. Can someone please give me advice and some tips? I really need them.

      When someone does something to us, it is not our fault. It’s more of a reflection of him, he probably feels insecure and incompetent, so he self sabotages. He might end up cheating on her or breaking up with her to get with you, because narcissists do that frequently. He’s being so obnoxious around you because he thinks about you. He’s gross and obsessed. Thank the lord that the trash took itself out.

    I was never a person who would compare themselves to other people. I developed this because I was surrounding myself with people who would constantly compare themselves to everyone ( including myself). And you immediately get bad vibes from them ( if YK,YK). Thanks for showing me the mirror. I'm gonna cut these people off and find myself new friends. If anyone is reading this and wanna be friends hit me up bestie🫀🌞

    In my case is the environment I am in my home country. As much as I try to be friendly and open to other women very rarely do I get the same energy in return and it is funny because when I am in the US visiting my family that problem ceases to exist when I interact with American women 🫠
