I am a 40-ish year old wife and mom of two kids.

And lately I've been struggling with feelings of jealousy, regret, and wondering if I missed my chance to become the person I wanted to be.

In my 20s, I chose adventure over security.

I left a stable job and moved to another town because I dreamed of being in music.

When that didn't work out, I went to culinary school and eventually built a personal chef business that I ran for a long time.

Bye now.

We live in a starter home in a neighborhood that isn't where I imagined raising my family.

I look at friends, cousins and relatives who have bigger homes, more disposable income and lives that seem easier.

And I find myself feeling jealous.

Then I feel guilty for being jealous because I know I have so much to be grateful for.

Sometimes I wonder if I made the wrong choices.

If I had stayed in my first career and followed a more traditional path, would I have the financial security and lifestyle I want today?

How do you make peace with the roads you didn't take?

How do you stop comparing your life to everyone else's?

And how do you know whether you're being ungrateful for what you have versus listening to a legitimate desire for something more?

I'd love your thoughts.

Thank you.

Okay, I have a couple thoughts.

I'll make this as short and sweet as I can.
