Podcasts about emotional maturity

In this episode of the LDS Mission Podcast, I'm diving into Ep. 221. The Feelings Formula—a simple but powerful way to process emotions that missionaries, returned missionaries, and missionary moms can use every single day. Too often we think feelings like anxiety, stress, homesickness, or discouragement mean something has gone wrong. The truth? Feelings are part of being human, and learning how to notice, name, allow, and release them is one of the most important skills you can take with you on your mission and into life after. I'll share practical mindset tools and emotional resilience strategies that help you stop resisting your emotions and start moving through them with confidence and compassion. Whether you're preparing for a mission, serving in the field, adjusting post-mission, or supporting a missionary you love, The Feelings Formula will help you develop emotional strength, mental clarity, and spiritual growth without needing to “fix yourself.” If you've ever felt stuck in overwhelm, anxious about the future, or weighed down by self-doubt, this episode is for you. Listen in and learn how to create peace in the middle of hard days, build resilience through emotional awareness, and show up as the missionary, RM, or mom you truly want to be. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.

In this episode, Ken Shuman digs deeper into the concept of differentiation in relationships by speaking of what we mean when we say we are "close" to someone. "Typically," he states, "people define closeness as sameness." Ken unpacks this notion and asks the group how they behave when they discover someone they feel close to is different, or when that person disappoints them. What do they do with their anxiety? And how can we increase our capacity to let others be exactly who they are and to be exactly who we are ourselves?This episode was recorded on September 5th, 2025.

Sometimes what we call “helping” is actually about managing our own anxiety or steering someone else's choices. In this episode, we explore how love and care can get tangled with control—often without us realizing it. We'll look at how this shows up in long-term relationships, and how it can sneak in early with new partners or friends through behaviors that feel supportive on the surface but chip away at our independence underneath. Together, we'll unpack the subtle differences between support that strengthens us and control that weakens us. You'll walk away with practical tools to spot the difference, reflect on your own patterns, and learn what healthier support really looks like—so you can offer it, and recognize it when it's given to you.    Takeaways Why intentions and impact don't always match when it comes to “helping.” The subtle signals that distinguish genuine support from hidden control. How to show up in ways that build trust and independence in any relationship.      Real support builds trust. Control chips away at it.      Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming back two incredible guests, Dr. Christian Conte and Jake Wiskerchen, both of whom are seasoned therapists and passionate advocates for mental health. We dive deep into the nuances of mentorship and the importance of genuine relationships in our professional lives. As we explore their unique friendship, I'm reminded of the value of having mentors who challenge us to grow and see our potential.One of the key concepts we discuss is the balance between ego and humility in our interactions, particularly in therapeutic settings. We reflect on the idea that being open to feedback and recognizing our limitations can lead to profound personal growth. Dr. Conte shares insights from his Yield Theory, emphasizing the importance of meeting people where they are and leading with humility rather than authority.We also tackle the complexities of dual relationships in therapy, questioning the strict boundaries often imposed in our field. How can we foster authentic connections while maintaining professionalism? This episode aims to explore these questions and more, ultimately highlighting the transformative power of mentorship and the deep connections that can arise from genuine care and intentionality in our relationships. How can being skeptical of your own ego lead to personal growth? What role does the word "maybe" play in shaping our beliefs? How did Dr. Christian Conte and Jake Wiskerchen meet, and what is the nature of their relationship? What is Yield Theory, and how does it relate to communication and emotional management? How can mentorship positively impact personal and professional development? What are the ethical considerations surrounding dual relationships in therapy? How can therapists maintain boundaries while fostering genuine connections with clients? What is the significance of intentionality in therapeutic and mentoring relationships? How can therapists effectively challenge their clients to help them grow? What are the limitations of the medical model in understanding human behavior? How can psychodynamic theory complement behaviorism in therapy? Why is it important to focus on the underlying issues rather than just symptoms in therapy? How can therapists work to create a non-weird environment for their clients? What are the challenges of conducting research in the field of psychology? How can anecdotal evidence be valuable in understanding the effectiveness of therapeutic approaches? What is the importance of discernment in navigating relationships and professional boundaries?Jake Wiskerchen, LMFT owns and operates Zephyr Wellness in northern Nevada and serves on the board of Walk the Talk America.

Welcome to episode #996 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Christie Smith is a former senior executive at Apple, Deloitte and Accenture with over three decades of leadership experience across industries including life sciences, consumer goods and finance. She holds a doctorate in Social Work and Organizational Psychology and now leads The Humanity Studio, a leadership advisory firm focused on redefining the future of work. In her new book, Essential - How Distributed Teams, Generative AI, and Global Shifts Are Creating a New Human-Powered Leadership (along with her co-author Kelly Monahan), Christie outlines a bold new framework for leaders navigating a post-pandemic, AI-driven, decentralized world. This episode explores the urgent need for management transformation - from command-and-control to people-centered leadership - and how today's leaders must adapt to rising expectations around purpose, trust and equity. Topics include the power shift from corporations to individuals, the cultural cost of distributed work, and why organizations must stop measuring productivity and start cultivating human energy. The discussion also unpacks the psychological strain of "always-on" work cultures, the promise and peril of generative AI, and how leaders can build communities, not just companies. At its core, this conversation is about what comes after burnout… what it means to lead with humanity, design systems that elevate people, and use power responsibly in a time of profound disruption. For anyone rethinking what it means to lead, build and belong in the modern workplace, this episode offers a timely and hopeful reframing of what's possible. Enjoy the conversation...

The divide between men and women has never been more pronounced in our culture, especially when it comes to who bears responsibility for healing relationship wounds. Drawing from years of experience as a counselor and my own personal journey, I tackle the dangerous tendency to place blame solely on one gender while absolving the other.Most relationship discourse online falls into one of two extremes – either men need to do all the emotional work while women are already evolved, or women are manipulative while men are just logical beings responding to provocation. Both narratives miss the fundamental truth that healing requires mutual accountability. As someone who's witnessed countless therapy sessions where men and women voice remarkably similar complaints about their partners, I can attest that shadow work isn't gender-specific.What makes someone truly attractive goes beyond physical appearance or social status – it's their commitment to self-awareness, their ability to own their past without blaming others, and their courage to remain open despite previous hurts. This balance of strength and vulnerability creates a magnetic presence that transcends conventional attractiveness. The "Holy Trinity," as I playfully call it, is emotional maturity, a good heart, and yes – physical attraction matters too.My personal battle with chronic pain following botched surgeries has taught me that making excuses never empowers us – only taking action does. The same principle applies to our relationships. We can't control how others show up, but we can control our own healing journey. When both partners commit to doing 100% of their own work rather than a transactional 50/50 split, relationships transform from battlegrounds into sacred spaces of growth.Are you ready to move beyond blame and into the challenging but rewarding space of mutual healing?

What if the key to deeper intimacy was learning how to handle disappointment? In this episode, we're talking about the one feeling most of us spend our lives avoiding, disappointment, and how that avoidance quietly chips away at connection in our relationships. Whether it's a quiet letdown at the end of a long day or a pattern of unspoken hopes, we often sidestep the pain instead of sitting with it. But what if facing disappointment head-on could actually strengthen your relationship and even your sex life? We'll walk through a moment that might feel all too familiar, unpack how we tend to cope (or not cope), and explore how learning to feel this one hard emotion can open the door to real intimacy. It might sound counterintuitive, but stick with me - this conversation might change the way you think about connection.

This is an intuitive insights companion episode to episode 117.

What really causes estrangement between parents and children, and how can you prevent it, especially after divorce? In this episode of The Moving On Method, host Michelle Dempsey-Multack sits down with psychotherapist and author Whitney Goodman (aka @sitwithwit) to unpack the nuanced emotional dynamics that lead to parent-child estrangement. From parentification to narcissistic family systems, Michelle and Whitney explore what it takes to be the safe, emotionally attuned parent your child needs, particularly when co-parenting in a high-conflict situation. What You'll Learn: Why estrangement is becoming more openly discussed, and what's actually driving it How parentification harms children (even when well-intentioned) The critical difference between protecting vs. over-sharing with your child How to build emotional safety and connection during divorce or co-parenting What “parenting without a roadmap” really means, and how to do it with confidence Episode Highlights: 03:44 – Is estrangement really on the rise, or are we just talking about it more? 08:29 – The difference between abandonment and emotional cutoffs 13:52 – Why parents repeat unhealthy dynamics or swing too far in the other direction 19:41 – How to avoid parentifying your child during divorce 26:35 – “My child is my rock”: When closeness crosses emotional boundaries 31:18 – What to say when your child repeats something the other parent said 34:50 – Can you be a “safe parent” even if you can't control the other home? 37:11 – Parenting through estrangement fears: What conscious parents need to hear Meet the Guest: Whitney Goodman, LMFT, is a licensed psychotherapist, speaker, and author of Toxic Positivity. Best known for her online presence as @sitwithwit, Whitney helps individuals navigate family estrangement, generational trauma, and emotionally mature parenting through her work at callinghome.co. Tools, Frameworks, and Concepts Mentioned: Parenting Without a Roadmap – Whitney's emotional navigation model for parents without healthy templates Parentification – A breakdown of the emotional role-reversal between parent and child Narcissistic Family Systems – Traits and long-term impacts Emotional Maturity vs. Emotional Oversharing – Why kids need honesty with boundaries Safe and Stable Parent Model – A guiding principle for high-conflict parenting Closing Insight: "Bad parents don't worry about being bad parents.

Welcome to episode 212 where we talk about 'Making Sense of Mind Chatter'. Ever feel like your brain just won't stop talking? That constant swirl of thoughts—whether it's fear, doubt, self-criticism, or overwhelm—is what I like to call mind chatter. In this episode, I break down that chatter into three distinct voices: the sleepy sloth, the yappy dog, and the wise owl. Each one has something to say—and believe it or not, they all matter. Together, we explore how to identify which voice is speaking up in your mind, how each one feels, and how to respond with more clarity and confidence. You'll learn that none of these thoughts make you broken or weak—it just means you're human. And by recognizing these voices instead of reacting to them, you gain more emotional maturity, more peace, and more power to create the mission and life you truly want. Whether you're preparing to serve, currently on your mission, adjusting to post-mission life, or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you understand your brain better—and maybe even befriend that noisy mind of yours. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Happy Birthday, America!Today's episode leading up to the July 4th weekend touches upon a few topics. First, we touch base on my opinion about what I believe is the best course of action for people with platforms during politically volatile times. I also discuss what it means to be American to me. After, we talk about the difficulties of taking the high road when people create multiple potholes for you along the way. At the end of the day, you can never expect people to perform higher than the level they show you that they're at. If someone negatively impacts your energy, you should still take the high road but learn how to gate it and maintain social courtesies.

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.

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.
