Raele Altano says she doesn't experience jealousy. When she sees someone beautiful or accomplished, she admires them and pursues her own version of what they have, rather than wishing them harm. She even points out attractive women to her husband without feeling insecure.

You know what's a great feeling and something I'm realizing is more and more uncommon? Not understanding jealousy. If I see a beautiful woman, no matter what her age is, whether she's younger than me, older than me, I'm gonna appreciate that beauty and her look without feeling threatened that it imposes on me or my beauty or my look. If she's accomplished, I'm not going to try to minimize her accomplishment or knock her down a peg or sow doubt in how she got to where she is. If they have something I want for myself, I'll admire it and hope to get it and take the right steps in order to get it, but I'm not going to be jealous of them in a negative way and hope something bad happens to them or hope that that good thing gets taken away. And the same goes for men. I feel like if someone has something great, good for them. I'm gonna do me and get myself to the place that I want to be. If me and my husband are out and we see a beautiful woman, I'll be the first to acknowledge that that's a beautiful woman, or she's so well dressed, or looks like so-and-so celebrity, whatever it might be, without feeling some type of way about it. I don't know, I've just never understood jealousy like that, and it's really hard to comprehend when I'm on the receiving end of it. There's always going to be someone with more than you, or someone who looks differently than you do, who has a feature or an attribute that you won't have, and that's okay. It doesn't take anything away from you. I don't know, that's just my two cents for today.
