We may be adults, but a lot of us are still living in emotional childhood—blaming others for how we feel and how we act. When you give other people control over your emotions, you give away your power.

In this episode, we're breaking down what it means to take responsibility for your emotions and why it is fundamental if you want true freedom, stronger relationships, and genuine self-confidence. We’ll share personal stories of when we were stuck in emotional immaturity and how we learned to take responsibility for our emotions

We’re covering:

• The difference between emotional immaturity and emotional maturity
• Why blaming others keeps you miserable and powerless
• What it really means to own your emotions without beating yourself up
• How this skill improves your relationships, confidence, and inner peace
• How we learned the skill of emotional responsibility
• Where we still struggle and how we handle it

This isn’t about being perfect. It's about waking up, stepping up, and taking your power back.
