Ever felt like you're just pretending, waiting for that magical moment when you finally feel like an adult? I know for many years I did. In this episode, I’m unpacking what maturity really means to me beyond the surface stuff and straight into how we treat ourselves, show up for our future selves, and stop living for everyone else’s comfort first. When it all boils down to it, maturity is taking responsibility for the fact that we only have this one life.

Tune in where I share 14 ways that I have personally stepped into true adulthood allowing me to feel more grounded, more honest, and way more at peace in my own life. It’s time to not just look like an adult on the outside, but to truly feel like one on the inside allowing you to live your best life. 

Here are the Highlights:

(02:41) Defining maturity

(06:35) Folding laundry and future-focused actions

(11:48) The art of listening and practicing the pause

(24:45) Prayer and not taking on others’ urgency

(29:25) Balancing the masculine/feminine energy

(32:33) Honesty and boundaries as expressions of love
