Each week, join me, Matthew Doherty—your creative partner and resident envy expert—plus a rotating cast of guests as we obsess over everything in pop culture that makes us ask, “Why didn’t I think of that?!” We unpack why certain things make us feel something, riff out loud, and show you how to turn envy into big ideas of your own.

Why We Grieve the Stories We Can’t Let Go
You know that feeling when your favorite show finally ends and you’re left wrecked and grieving?
In this episode of The Envy League, we’re talking about the strange, beautiful heartbreak that hits when a story you love finally comes to an end — and why that feeling is actually a sign of something great.
We’ll break down:
– Why creative grief is real (and underrated)
– The Five Stages of Post-Finale Grief
– How fandom helps us process what we lost
– And why grief might be the clearest way to know if something is envy-worthy
This one’s for anyone who’s ever mourned the end of a show, clung to the last page of a book, or chased that same feeling again trying to find something new to watch or binge.
🎧 Hit play and let’s feel this one out together.
