Emotional Maturity, Pain Intolerance, and Why We’re Stuck with Maria Gambino
Episode 152
Monday, 30 March, 2026

This week, we’re joined by psychotherapist, up and coming author, and Giana’s sister, Maria Gambino, for a conversation on emotional maturity, pain intolerance, and why most of us aren’t as “emotionally evolved” as we think.We unpack the difference between emotional intelligence and true emotional maturity- and how living in a pain-intolerant culture keeps us disconnected from our bodies, our biology, and our ability to actually process what we feel. Maria shares how she brings biology into the therapy room to help people get unstuck, and why so many healing modalities can only scratch the surface.We also get personal- diving into our own coping mechanisms, from perfectionism and performance to addiction and high achievement, and how they can mask what’s really going on underneath.This episode is a deep (and at times unhinged) look at what trauma actually is, why some people don’t even realize they’re stuck, and how to start rebuilding a real relationship with your emotions.Plus: a little unsupervised couples therapy moment with Bradshaw and Giana that has Maria laughing by the end.Find Maria Gambino online:@mariagambinohqhttps://mariagambino.com/Want to support our podcast?
