Have you ever noticed how some people cheer you on until you start winning a little too much?Maybe it’s a friend whose energy shifted when you got promoted. Maybe it’s a family member who went quiet when your business began to thrive. Maybe it’s someone who supported your goals… until your success reminded them of what they’re not doing.Today, Sharon dives into the uncomfortable but very real truth: people want to see you do well - just not better than them.In this episode, Sharon breaks down the psychology behind comparison and envy, the subtle ways it shows up in our relationships, and how to protect your energy without shrinking your light.You’ll learn how to spot when people’s support turns into silent competition, how to stop taking others’ reactions personally, and how to build emotional boundaries that keep you grounded and growing (even when others can’t celebrate you) Because at the end of the day, nobody cares more about your growth, your success, or your happiness than you.And that’s not something to resent. It’s something to own.Timestamps:00:00 - The Uncomfortable Truth00:46 - Introduction01:24 - Why Do People Want You to Do Well, But Not Better Than Them?03:22 - The Psychology Behind It04:45 - Nobody Cares More About You Than You05:59 - How to Notice When People Aren't Comfortable With You Doing Better Than Them07:13 - How to Protect Yourself (And Your Peace)09:55 - The TakeawayEpisode Resources:💌 Join Sharon’s free newsletter Mindset Matters: https://www.sharonmccaffrey.com📱 Follow Sharon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sharonmccaffrey.coaching📺 Subscribe for weekly mindset episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@sharonmccaffrey.coaching
