In this week’s episode of Breen Time, Sabrina explores one of the most uncomfortable - and most misunderstood - human emotions: jealousy.

It’s something almost everyone experiences, yet few people feel able to talk about openly.

That quiet sting when someone else gets the opportunity you wanted.

The knot in your stomach when a friend’s success highlights your own doubts.

The sudden insecurity when you fear being replaced, overlooked, or left behind.

Rather than seeing jealousy as something shameful or “bad,” Sabrina reframes it as a signal - an internal message pointing towards fear, insecurity, and unmet needs. When we learn to listen to that signal with honesty and compassion, jealousy becomes an invitation for growth rather than something that controls our behaviour.

In this episode, Sabrina gently unpacks what jealousy really is, why it shows up, and how it can quietly shape our relationships, confidence, and self-respect if left unchecked. She also shares practical, grounded ways to work with jealousy - both when you feel it yourself and when it’s directed towards you by others.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• The difference between envy and jealousy, and why it matters
• How insecurity, comparison, and fear of replacement fuel jealous feelings
• Why jealousy often says more about our inner world than other people’s actions
• A five-step process for handling jealousy in a healthy, adult way
• How to respond when colleagues, friends, or family members are jealous of you
• Why quiet confidence and self-respect are your strongest protection

With warmth and clarity, Sabrina invites you to meet jealousy with awareness rather than judgement — and to use it as a tool for understanding yourself more deeply, rather than something to suppress or act out.

This episode isn’t about pretending you never feel jealous.

It’s about learning how to recognise it, understand it, and choose responses that protect your peace and support your growth.

If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, felt threatened by someone else’s success, or noticed jealousy affecting your relationships, this episode offers reassurance, insight, and a grounded way forward.

In this week’s episode of Breen Time, Sabrina explores a struggle that affects far more people than we realise — especially those who are capable, committed and quietly high-achieving: impostor syndrome.

That persistent feeling of being a fraud.

The fear of being “found out.”

The belief that your success is down to luck rather than ability.

In this episode, Sabrina gently unpacks what impostor syndrome really is, why it shows up so strongly in thoughtful and conscientious people, and how it can quietly shape our choices, confidence and sense of worth. Rather than treating it as a personal flaw, she reframes it as a learned pattern - one that can be recognised, challenged and softened.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Why impostor syndrome is not humility, but hidden self-doubt
• How perfectionism, comparison and upbringing feed the inner critic
• The real cost impostor syndrome takes on confidence and opportunity
• Why high performers are often the ones who feel it most
• Practical, compassionate ways to start trusting your own record

With honesty and warmth, Sabrina invites you to look at that inner voice with curiosity rather than judgement, and to begin separating your achievements from your fears. This episode isn’t about forcing confidence — it’s about building trust in yourself, one honest step at a time.

If you’ve ever struggled to accept praise, hesitated to step forward, or quietly questioned whether you truly belong, this episode offers reassurance, clarity and a grounded way forward.

In this week’s episode of Breen Time, Sabrina unpacks a phrase many of us have said - often without realising what we’re actually asking for: “I just want to be happy.”

It sounds simple, even hopeful. But more often than not, it’s something we say when life feels off - when work is draining, relationships feel misaligned, or we’re quietly carrying a sense of dissatisfaction we can’t quite name.

In this episode, Sabrina explores what sits underneath that desire for happiness, why it’s so easily misunderstood, and how chasing an undefined version of it can leave us feeling even more lost. Rather than treating happiness as a constant state or a finish line, she reframes it as something more grounded, personal and sustainable.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Why “I just want to be happy” is often really a cry for relief
• How happiness differs from joy - and why calm is often overlooked
• Why comparison and vague goals keep us stuck
• How to begin defining your version of happiness, without pressure or perfection
• The everyday habits and boundaries that quietly support a happier life

With honesty and compassion, Sabrina invites you to slow down, get curious, and question the stories you’ve inherited about what happiness is supposed to look like. This episode isn’t about chasing highs or forcing positivity - it’s about clarity, alignment and building a life that feels right for you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, restless, or unsure why “being happy” feels harder than it should, this episode offers perspective, reassurance and a gentler way forward.
