Sarah's Thoughts: Why Some Friends Don't Clap for You

About this episode

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with a friend feeling smaller than when you arrived?


In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores one of the most difficult and often unspoken dynamics in adult friendships: jealousy.


Why do some people celebrate our struggles but seem distant when we succeed? Why can good news sometimes change the energy in the room? And how do we know when a friendship is genuinely supportive, or quietly holding us back?


Drawing on neuroscience, Sarah explains how feelings of scarcity and low self-worth can shape the way people respond to someone else's success. More importantly, she shares how to recognise the difference between isolated moments and unhealthy patterns, trust your intuition, and protect your emotional wellbeing without guilt.

This episode is a reminder that the people closest to you should never make you feel smaller. They should celebrate your growth, champion your dreams, and make you feel more like yourself, not less.


If this conversation resonates with you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that true friendship celebrates your light.
