About this listen

We’ve all said it: “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” But are you actually living that truth in your relationships?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the essential difference between feeling an emotion and acting on it and why separating the two is at the core of emotional maturity. Whether it’s parenting or marriage, we often justify our reactions based on someone else’s actions. But that pattern erodes trust, safety, and connection.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why emotional honesty isn’t an excuse to mistreat others
  • How to apologize without justifying harmful behavior
  • The subtle way we teach kids to manage our emotions (and how to break the cycle)
  • What real emotional maturity looks like in action


If you're ready to stop passing emotional responsibility onto others and start breaking the patterns you were raised in, this one's for you.
