When did you finally feel grown up, ?
I used to think of "maturity" as something that happened naturally because I grew older.
Until I got older and realized - when the stress was great enough, I could still fall into my old habits - throwing a mini-fit like a baby.
It wasn't pretty, but it was necessary because I simply didn't understand this -
There is a difference between
growing up and becoming Emotionally Mature.
I invited my college friend and former client Stephanie to talk about this topic with me -
because I knew we both went through a similar process of dealing with anxiety, struggling with our emotions, and finally learning some tools for becoming emotionally mature.
Perhaps my favorite part is where we discuss our mutual confusion about the story of Mary and Martha in the Bible - and how we were both confused...
"Mary gets praised for sitting down at Jesus' feet while Martha is doing all the work, making sure everyone gets fed? What????"
I thank Stephanie for being so open and vulnerable about her faith journey.
Hope you enjoy!
