Thanks for posting this question and to those who answered with advice. This is something I've been struggling with recently, despite others probably facing the same envy when looking at my life.
I decided to compile some of my favourite learnings from this thread:
1) Jealousy comes from a scarcity mindset. Use this as awareness and fuel to improve.
2) Never compare yourself to someone across a single domain. Things must be analyzed in the context of their lives, including what they've chosen to give up.
3) Outward success != happiness. This is particularly important in the age of social media, when people post the best 10% of their lives. Consistent happiness > sporadic highs.
4) Assess whether you'd actually want to do what that person does, not just be perceived as they are.
