Summary

In this episode, John and Vanessa record a podcast episode on the go. They talk about how emotional immaturity and codependency are connected, what adult children of emotionally immature parents look like, and how to be aware of when you're being emotionally immature. They give real examples of how it shows up, and how to work through it, so it doesn't affect your relationships.

Roughly ten minutes of self help in a shot glass. If you're looking for a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place. Marriage family therapist and best-selling author, John Kim, shares his life and love revelations as well as insights from his sessions. He pulls the curtain back and documents his journey as a therapist but more importantly, as a human being.
