Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast with Matt and Erin! 

In this episode, we are pulling back the curtain on an approach to coaching temperaments that we have been refining over the last five years: combining Temperament Insights with Mindset Coaching.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
• The 4-Step Framework: Name, Claim, Tame, and Aim
• Why traditional assessment coaching falls short without mindset work
• How fear and vice mimic temperament weaknesses (and how grace transforms them)
• A LIVE, unscripted mindset coaching session where Erin coaches Matt through choleric impatience, control, and long-term business planning.

Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast with Matt and Erin! In Episode 305, we are continuing our sub-series on how different temperaments navigate healthy, holy conflict resolution. Today, we are putting the "Peaceful Phlegmatic" in the hot seat. 

Have you ever walked away from a difficult conversation feeling relieved that it's over, only to realize later that you never actually said what you needed to say? 

Phlegmatics possess an incredible superpower: they are naturally calm under pressure, patient, and excellent mediators. However, their deep aversion to rocking the boat can lead them to use "assuming goodwill" or quick compliance as an escape hatch to avoid the discomfort of real, arduous conversations.

In this episode, Matt and Erin walk through the 4-part PACE framework (Pause, Assume Goodwill, Clarify, Engage) specifically tailored for Phlegmatics:
• The difference between true, lasting peace and temporary emotional relief.
• How Phlegmatics inadvertently confuse "processing" an emotion with completely suppressing or ignoring it.
• Practical scripts and strategies for bringing your honest thoughts to the table during the Clarify phase.
• Why a passive-aggressive "yes" hurts relationships, and how to practice the virtue of fortitude to build stable, reliable harmony.

As St. Thomas Aquinas famously said, "The things that we love tell us what we are." Phlegmatics, do you love true relational peace, or are you settling for mere relief?

Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast with Matt and Erin! In Episode 304, we are continuing our sub-series on how different temperaments navigate healthy, holy conflict resolution using the PACE Framework (Pause, Assume Goodwill, Clarify, Engage).

Today, we are shifting into the introverted temperaments to focus on the Melancholic.

Melancholics have a beautiful, rich interior life, but when it comes to conflict, their deep analytical minds can easily derail them. Instead of working toward unity, a melancholic might find themselves over-preparing, scripting imaginary arguments, and holding others to unspoken, black-and-white "ideals."

In this episode, Matt and Erin break down:

The Melancholic Profile: Understanding how slow-activating, long-lasting emotional responses can fuel long-term resentment.

The "Should" Trap: How rigid ideals can become measuring sticks used to bludgeon relationships rather than build them.

Maximizing the Pause: Why using the FACE Protocol (from Episode 300) and physical journaling is vital to break the rumination loop.

Locus of Control in Communication: Learning to co-create ideals with others rather than manipulating them into conforming to yours.

If you are a melancholic—or love someone who is—this episode offers highly practical, compassionate guardrails to help you stop rehearsing arguments and start restoring communion.

Do you rush to "kiss and make up" after a fight just to keep the peace, only to find the same argument exploding a week later? If you hate the emotional heaviness of conflict and prefer to brush past the pain to get back to the good vibes, you might be dealing with the unique wiring of a Sanguine temperament.

Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast with Matt and Erin! In Episode 303, we are continuing our sub-series on how different temperaments navigate healthy, holy conflict resolution. Today, we are pointing the spotlight at the joyful, popular, and peace-loving Sanguine.

Using our 4-step conflict resolution framework, PACE (Pause, Assume Goodwill, Clarify, Engage), Matt and Erin break down exactly where Sanguines naturally shine—and where they hit major relational roadblocks.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• The Sanguine Trap: How the fast but short-lived intensity of Sanguine anger can trick you into thinking you’re "over it" when resentment is actually building underneath.
• The Vices of Inconstancy & Mollis: Why avoiding the "arduous" work of deep conversations leads to shallow reconciliation.
• The "FACE" Method in the Pause: How external accountability and targeted journaling can slow down your thinking and keep you focused.
• Scripting for Clarity: Powerful phrases (like "I might be wrong about this, but...") to inject your natural warmth into tough, fact-based dialogues.
• St. Philip Neri’s Secret: How the ultimate Sanguine saint modeled heroic forgiveness and holy joy without avoiding reality.

Whether you are a Sanguine looking to move from superficial harmony to true relational depth, married to one, or coaching someone with a high-spirited personality, this episode offers practical, repeatable mindset strategies to move toward real unity.
