Before we can tackle big issues and make lasting change, we have to first check in with ourselves. How we manage our emotions impacts how we show up in the world—whether it’s dealing with stress, relationships, or the constant pressures we face as young people.

So, what’s emotional maturity, and why does it matter? In this episode, I’ll break it down, share why it’s especially important for us, and talk about how we can develop it. It’s all about knowing when to pause, reflect, and handle situations with wisdom instead of just reacting.
