405: Emotionally Immature People Can’t Hear You (Here’s How To Talk To Them)

Are you constantly navigating conversations where you feel like you’re walking on eggshells? Or maybe you find yourself questioning your reality after talking to someone who can't seem to take accountability, ever?

In this episode, I dive into the uncomfortable (but necessary) topic of how to talk to emotionally immature people — whether it’s a partner, parent, friend, or colleague.

Through the lens of personal growth, communication skills, and emotional intelligence, I’ll walk you through what emotional immaturity really looks like, how to protect your peace without cutting everyone off, and powerful ways to respond without abandoning yourself.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Why emotional immaturity is so triggering

• Brave phrases to set boundaries from a grounded place

• The power of walking away (without guilt)

• Why you don’t have to win the argument

• How to hold space without abandoning your truth
