Growing Yourself Up with Dr Jenny Brown - Encore
Manage episode 517782924 series 2503074
We all like to think of ourselves as grown-ups, but what does it really mean to grow yourself up? And how does that shape every relationship you have at home, at work, and with the people you love most?
In this encore episode, I’m joined by Dr Jenny Brown, author of Growing Yourself Up: How to Bring Your Best to All of Life’s Relationships. We explore what maturity actually looks like in practice, why we can’t change others without first managing ourselves, and how family patterns shape the way we love, work, and connect.
You’ll hear about:
- The difference between genuine maturity and “borrowed” maturity
- How family systems influence the way we manage stress and relationships
- What self-differentiation really means (and why it’s so important)
- Why emotional independence isn’t the same as disconnection
- How to stay calm and connected during family stress
- Why growing up is a lifelong process, not something we finish in adulthood
If you’ve ever found yourself reacting to your family dynamics or wondering why certain patterns keep repeating, this conversation will help you see yourself and your relationships in a whole new way.
