Sacred Leadership with Sherisse 

Emotional Maturity: What I Learned the Hard Way

There was a time when I believed emotional maturity meant being composed, articulate, and unbothered. What I learned — through missteps, ruptured relationships, and seasons of emotional turbulence — is that true maturity is not about control. It’s about regulation, responsibility, and the courage to stay present with yourself when your nervous system wants to react.

In this episode, I share the lived lessons that shaped my emotional intelligence — where I reacted instead of responded, where self-suppression masqueraded as strength, and where leadership quietly fractured because emotional steadiness wasn’t yet embodied.

We explore how emotional maturity transforms relationships, why emotional intelligence is a spiritual practice rather than a personality trait, and how the body reveals whether regulation has truly been integrated. I also speak to the reality of rebuilding emotional steadiness after destabilizing seasons — when leadership requires returning to yourself before leading anyone else.

This is a personal reflection for leaders who are no longer interested in appearing evolved, but are committed to becoming emotionally anchored, sovereign, and trustworthy — first with themselves, and then with others.
