You don’t get to dish it if you can’t take it.” Period.

In this episode, we’re talking about the communication double standard that can quietly destroy connection: correcting everyone else—but crumbling when you’re corrected. If you’ve ever felt attacked by feedback, shut down mid-conversation, or started deflecting the moment the mirror turned toward you… Sunshine, this one is for you.

We’ll break down what emotional maturity really looks like, why defensiveness blocks intimacy, and how to receive truth with grace instead of ego. Plus, we anchor it in Scripture (Proverbs 27:6, NIV) and end with a journal prompt that will help you grow without shame.

If you’ve been praying for a better relationship, better communication, and more peace—this episode is a step in that direction.

Here’s What We’re Unpacking:
💜 Why “dish it but can’t take it” is a relationship blocker

💜 The difference between helpful feedback and critical control

💜 How defensiveness, silence, and emotional shutdown sabotage intimacy

💜 The Mirror Moment”: when Sunshine realizes she can correct—but struggles to receive correction

💜 What the Bible says about humility and correction (Proverbs 27:6, NIV)

💜 Practical ways to take feedback like a high-value, emotionally mature woman

💜 A journal prompt to help you notice your patterns and take your power back

Scripture: Matthew 7:3 (NIV): “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
