You Can Want It and Still Be Happy For Others
Joyful Adenike on jealousy, envy and comparison...
Have you ever scrolled past someone’s win and felt something twist in your chest? Not because you don’t love them, or because you’re a bad person, but because it looks like life is moving for them, and you’re still exactly where you were last year.
In this episode of the Dear Christian Girl podcast, I sat down with the incredible Joyful Adenike.
She’s a filmmaker, director, and producer known for creating compelling stories. She is the creative mind behind films like Summer Rain and Chemistry and she’s currently working on her newest film, Tele x Zikora. Beyond film, she’s an author, content creator, wife, mum and she’s a woman who wears many hats beautifully.
She talked about watching people who started after her reach milestones she once dreamed of, and she acknowledged something many of us struggle with: the temptation to feel jealous when someone else seems to be moving ahead of you.
She also shared how she chooses to handle those feelings when they come up, because jealousy is not a spirit we want to hold on to.
If you’ve ever struggled with jealousy, envy, or the feeling that you’re being left behind while everyone else seems to be moving forward, this episode is for you.
Episode 4 with Joyful Adenike is out now on all podcast platforms.
