Enlivening Maturity with Irreverence and Emotion

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to the 10th episode of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's conversation, Laura and Linda redefine maturity. Too often, being mature often evokes an image of boring "adulting" and overall fuddy-duddy-ness (yep, we made that word up!). What if maturity was enlivened with emotion and irreverence? In this episode, we explore:- What is maturity and why is it ripe for redefinition?- What is emotional maturity? What does it look like and not look like?- Why dogs and other creatures can make amazing teachers on our road to maturation- How do we learn that our feelings are unacceptable?- Feelings that get little space in our culture (such as grief, regret, and remorse) and why they are important to a fully-lived life- Irreverent maturity: What is it and why is it needed?"Irreverent maturity is walking our own path with delight!" - Linda KatzResources:Dr. Gorden Neufeld: https://neufeldinstitute.org/Course on five-step model of emotional maturation: https://neufeldinstitute.org/course/neufelds-five-step-model-of-emotional-maturation/Quotes: “At 70 years old if I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be to use the words 'fuck off' much more frequently.” - Helen Mirren"Wisdom combines experience with knowledge. Experience is lived through the passions of the body; knowledge is learned through the discipline of the mind. Wisdom connects body and spirit in soul."  - Marion Woodman + Elinor Dickson, Dancing in the FlamesHow about you? What is your relationship like with the word "maturity"?
