ep 133 / Emotional Maturity: How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t and Start Owning It
Episode 133
Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
What does it really mean to be emotionally mature—and why is it so damn hard sometimes? In this episode of Relationship Dish, Pam and Iona dive deep into the difference between having big feelings and acting on them. They unpack how emotional maturity isn't something you automatically get with age; it's something you build through awareness, accountability, and a refusal to keep blaming others for your unhappiness. Iona admits her parents weren't exactly models of maturity, and shares a story about a couple she couldn't help in therapy because they kept reenacting their emotional immaturity right there in session. Pam and Iona also explore how our "freeze" points often trace back to childhood wounds, and why self-righteousness, control, and blame are the biggest traps keeping us stuck. True emotional maturity means accepting life's hard truths, regulating your own reactions, and remembering that the only thing you can truly change… is you.
