The conversation explores the different levels of love, teaching listeners how to trust and let go, even in the most trying times. Josh and Angie also introduce an identity evaluation questionnaire to help you assess whether you're a rescuer—someone who trusts in their ability to save others at the expense of their own well-being. But mature love, they argue, involves letting go and trusting in a higher power, even in the face of loss.
This episode is packed with practical advice on setting boundaries, self-regulating emotions, and having compassion without losing yourself. Josh and Angie emphasize that learning to cope with nonsense and detach from it is key to emotional stability.
