Podcasts about emotional maturity

We've all had that “Oh no… was I the drama?” moment....Phoenix Ash just made hers public. In this emotionally charged yet soul-nourishing episode of Life as P..., P gets raw about nearly fumbling a real one. From second-guessing a breakup to untangling hormonal hurricanes (hey PCOS, perimenopause....we see you), this episode isn't just self-reflection, it's a full-on emotional audit. There's emotional maturity, real-life receipts, and a deep dive into why we sometimes ghost the good ones… only to realize we might be haunted by our own fears instead. Trust, if you've ever self-sabotaged, this one's going to hit like a delayed text from your ex… except more healing and less chaotic.

In this episode, Ken Shuman speaks of the deep Faithwalking value of offering a safe space for everybody, and the challenge that presents in the midst of so much diversity and polarization in our world. He shares the critical building blocks for creating a safe place and describes the kind of safe people he hopes Faithwalkers become.This episode was recorded on June 13th, 2025.

In this episode, Ken Shuman talks about another component of self-regulation - managing our anger. He speaks about the root causes of anger and getting clear about what our triggers are, then what we can do to respond to our anger without sinning. Ken distinguishes between reactive anger and assertive differentiation and reminds the group of the concept of sin as shalom (or wholeness) breaking, then addresses the question, "How can we be angry without breaking the wholeness?"This episode was recorded on June 6th, 2025.

In this reflection I consider my emotional maturity as relating to new information. Supporting themes: Emotional denial; Mapping vs pairing of MBTI and the Enneagram; Nature vs nurture; Genetics; Birth order; Paternal vs maternal care; Baby mama drama; A season of heart work; The intersections of instinct and emotions (as a rational being); Cognitive, social, emotional and romantic orientations; Trust and safety; Vulnerability: Experiencing trauma and the storage of trauma. This reflection was influenced in part by 1) Dr. Beatrice Chestnut ("The Complete Enneagram"); 2) Pastor Tom ( "Type Eight Checklist" on YouTube); and 3) Personality Path ("How Each Type Experiences the Core Three Emotions "). Typology: INTJ8; Three Intelligent Centers of the Enneagram and their core emotions.

He Died to Himself and She Decided Intimacy Needed to Change: Rebekah's Story Rebekah didn't sign up for marriage coaching. She wasn't looking for help. In fact, when her husband first discovered us, she politely declined any involvement. He had found the podcast and was quietly listening, learning, and applying. She wasn't ready. But he didn't push. He didn't demand. He just loved her. And that—his sacrificial, consistent, Christlike love—is what eventually opened her heart. When the Husband Leads and Goes First “He died to himself,” Rebekah said, describing her husband Noah's transformation. “He was willing to love me even if I didn't love him back.” It didn't happen overnight. Noah committed to the Men's Program during Rebekah's pregnancy, often implementing everything he learned from recordings because he was unable to attend the live Group Coaching Calls due to work. He walked out the truth. And over time, Rebekah noticed. “I felt deeply that he was doing that for me,” she shared. “And that softened my heart.”   Being Intimidated by Intimacy Rebekah's journey around intimacy was painful. It was often physically painful. She didn't enjoy it. She felt shy around it and blushed when the topic came up. She felt disconnected—from herself, from her husband, even from her own body. She also knew what was at stake. “Intimacy was already hard… but with kids, it could disappear completely,” she said. “I didn't want that. For me. Or for our son.” She began to see how her challenges weren't just affecting her—it was impacting her family. And when she realized how her own view of her body and sexuality could shape her child's experience, she knew something needed to change. God Opened the Door for A Change of Heart in Intimacy “I had already been recommending DYM to others,” she laughed. “But I hadn't done it myself. And I realized… maybe this was my turn.” What she discovered wasn't just practical help. It was healing.   Learning to Feel Safe One of Rebekah's breakthroughs came in understanding safety—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Through the program, she learned how to identify when her body was in fight-or-flight mode—and how to speak truth over herself: “My husband loves me. I'm safe. This is how he expresses love.” By renewing her mind with Scripture and applying our tools, she started to relax, receive, and even enjoy intimacy! And the community of women around her helped normalize what once felt foreign. Learning Healthy Boundaries—and Becoming a Daughter One coaching call stood out above the rest. The topic was boundaries—not as walls, but as the way we act like we truly are children of God. “I realized I wasn't treating myself like I was God's daughter,” Rebekah said, her voice trembling with tears. “And I needed to stop crossing boundaries in my own mind.” That moment launched a new season in her life—one where she no longer withheld emotionally, physically, or spiritually. Instead, she began living like someone deeply loved and worth loving.   Becoming More Confident in Intimacy, Growing in Emotional Maturity, and More Here's what she now walks in: Confidence in intimacy with her husband Emotional maturity and responsibility Joy rooted in Christ not circumstances A transformed mindset aligned with truth A deeper value for marriage than ever before She even said, “Going into this, I didn't value marriage like I do now. But I believe God can save any marriage. He did it for mine.”   Final Thoughts for If You Feel It's All Too Much... We know what it's like to feel like your marriage is hopeless. Like intimacy will never change. It will remain painful. It will remain disconnected. It will remain joyless. We also know how it feels to be unsure of a program like this. "Will it really work for me?" "Are the testimonies actually true?" "I see it worked for them, but my marriage is different. We are too far gone." Let us encourage you today: Your marriage is not too far gone. Yes, these testimonies, Rebekah's included, are true. And, by the grace of God, it does work and change marriages. Your intimacy does not have to remain joyless and painful and disconnected. It can be joyful, enjoyable, and connected. Let's end with a prayer: Heavenly Father, you know this one. You know who needed to hear this message and who needed to read these words. Father, would you bless them in their marriage. Would you bring them the healing they've been longing for. Would you give them divine patience, mercy, and grace for their spouses and divine ideas on how to love them well. Would you give them the inspiration and encouragement they need and remind them how deeply loved they are by you. In your holy name, we pray, Amen.   With love,   The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - If you want to know more about the Women's Program that Rebekah mentioned, that helped her go from dreading intimacy to looking forward to it with excitement, we have a free Masterclass available for you. Consider it a free sample! :) Check out Women's Masterclass: Intimacy Confidence to register.   PPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: "Not being able to connect or communicate well. Very little vulnerability on both sides. Perfectionism. I felt like the kids and I could never be good enough. I could not share my heart or thoughts on something without being judged so I didn't. Being cherished was something I tried not to think about because it felt too impossible... [Now,] I'm more confident, playful, happily and intentionally imperfect... I've learned to rejoice in the Lord always! I can't believe how much has changed in our marriage just by imitation! Because I have modeled imperfection, playfulness, and being easily pleased, the tension and critiquing in our marriage and home has gone way down. We are having so much more fun!"

In this short field note, Kristin reflects on a quiet, sacred truth about mental health and neighborhood life—the silent agreements we make with those around us when things could so easily fall apart. From pajama-clad goat wrangling to navigating differences with respect, this episode explores the kind of emotional maturity that doesn't get praised but deeply matters. It's not about being the same. It's about choosing peace—over and over again—in ways that often go unseen. For those who've had to protect their own nervous system just to make it through the day, this one's for you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

What if the very strategies that saved you as a child are now sabotaging your adult relationships? In Part 2 of Tony's series on emotional immaturity, discover why your most persistent relationship struggles aren't character flaws—they're outdated survival software still running in the background of your life. Through the powerful ACT metaphor of "The Man in the Hole," you'll understand why working harder with familiar emotional tools only digs you deeper into relationship problems. When someone offers you a ladder out of your patterns, why do you keep trying to dig with it instead? This episode reveals how to recognize when it's time to put down the shovel of old coping strategies and climb toward something completely different. Meet the clients who've made this transformation: the chronic fixer who learned to ask "what do you need from me?" instead of immediately solving, the humor-deflector who shocked a room into silence by sharing something real, and the lifelong people-pleaser whose hands shook as she said "no" for the first time—and discovered her marriage actually got stronger. You'll explore Terry Real's revolutionary insight that childhood adaptations become adult roadblocks, learn the art of re-parenting yourself with compassion instead of criticism, and discover why emotional maturity isn't about never falling into old patterns—it's about recognizing when you're there and having new tools to respond. Whether you struggle with hypervigilance, perfectionism, control issues, or people-pleasing tendencies, this episode offers a shame-free framework for honoring your inner child's brilliant survival strategies while empowering your adult self to take the lead. Because growth isn't about eliminating your protective parts—it's about expanding your repertoire of responses and choosing consciously instead of reacting automatically.

So, I was inspired to offer a mid-year tarot reading, a follow up on the new year's reading I did at the beginning of 2025. This reading was definitely a progress report, on masculine and feminine dynamics. The reading centered around the theme of emotions, and dipped into where we are over-intellectualizing, and where we can use our fire to forge boundaries and keep our egos in check as we focus on our deepest work: emotional maturity.This goes for all humans, but with the planets moving into fire and air, we are really looking toward the men and their ability to do this emotional work. Women are also called to balance the masculine within them. It was a very dynamic reading (no earth cards!- no surprise), and I felt it gave some important tips on how to deepen that self work we are engaged in as we move swiftly into the future.To reference my Substack for the new moon Astrology, click here.

Men's Discipleship Breakfast, May 10, 2025. When Do You Know You Are Emotionally Mature? 26 Signs of Emotional Maturity The post (Emotional) Maturity Through Suffering appeared first on .

Unhealthy and immature adults tend to make unhealthy decisions and unwise choices.  Yet, research is clear that the more emotionally mature we become, we tend to make decisions based on wisdom, and not simply on what is right and wrong.  What are these two traits, and how do they interact?  What hinders emotional maturity and wisdom?  Dr. Rick explains...

Huang Gang or die. JK JK. Shoutout to all of my friends - past, present, and future - who shaped me into the woman I am today! This episode is because of you :) Let's talk about the trials and tribulations of adult friendships. There are circumstantial friendships (ones you make in school, when it's situational, etc.) and substantial friendships (ones that last because you both nurture it). Your 20s are where you'll find yourself building or breaking these relationships. Today, I share my experiences with cliques, growing pains, girl fights, and avoidant people. I walk you through multiple scenarios with different people I've encountered in my 20s and what lessons I extracted from those situations. Lastly, I give my two cents on how to keep quality friendships as you get older to make sure everyone is a substantial and not situational friend. DISCLAIMER: This is not an episode made to "spill tea" or trash anyone in my past but rather share what those hardships taught me and how I currently carry myself in adversity with others. *NOTE: Sorry the audio is not super consistent. I'm still trying to understand my new apartment's acoustics and how to adjust so the mic isn't so sensitive to P sounds and background noises like our AC or air purifier.*

Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
