    Oct 2 2024
    Have you ever thought about leveling up your personal development? Growing your emotional intelligence and emotional maturity can open the door to incredible transformations, both personally and professionally. And today, my amazing guest is the perfect example of how expanding your emotional toolkit can be your best move ever. I'm thrilled to welcome my new friend and emotional intelligence guru, Noble Gibbens, to the show. Noble didn’t just improve his emotional intelligence; he went ALL IN on growing his emotional maturity, redefining his relationships, career, and life in the process. And he’s here to share his journey—how understanding and regulating his emotions empowered him to become a better husband, father, entrepreneur, and mentor. Honestly—can you imagine navigating relationships or your career with the emotional skills you had as a teenager? No way! We all grow emotionally over time, and Noble’s story is a powerful example of how emotional intelligence is a key part of that growth. If I think about the difference between my emotional capacity in my first few years of sobriety compared to today, the transformation is massive! Whether you're just beginning to explore emotional intelligence or have been working on personal growth for years, this conversation is filled with valuable insights on self-awareness, emotional resilience, and the often overlooked power of emotional maturity. Today you’ll hear about: >> (4:13) Noble talks about his emotional fitness journey >> (6:15) Understanding emotional maturity and how it affects your life >> (11:17) Noble breaks down being over 40, married, and having zero understanding of feelings and emotions >> (20:32) How building your emotional vocabulary is a key factor in growth and healing >> (23:00) The manipulation behind people-pleasing addiction >> (35:34) Taking ownership of your growth and change Listen in if you're feeling ready for the next chapter of your recovery and your life.

Good stuff, Angela!

FINALLY!!! I have been saying this for years! We addicts & alcoholics have a great advantage over those that are never forced to take a hard look at ourselves, break it all down, rebuild from the ground up, starting with a establishing an unshakable foundation for creating a new life that we can stand up and be proud of - we have an advantage over everyone else. Other people are rarely going to do this painful, gut-wrenching, humbling work, unless they are forced to, ie., a trip to rehab, legal troubles, ultimatums from a spouse, family or friends, people simply aren’t going to strip themselves and their lives down to the bare bones unless they have no other choice. We, addicts and alcoholics, have the opportunity to change the way we see things; flip the script, as you like to say, Angela. Instead of having a “woe is me” attitude regarding having to do this life-changing work, see it as the true blessing it really is. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to become the best version of you possible. In turn, opening the door to the opportunity to live your best life!
I also want to thank you for backing me up on something I feel very strongly about myself - the idea that we have to “pick one” in regards to being a Life Coach or a Recovery Coach - as far as I’m concerned, you cannot be a well rounded Life Coach if you aren’t prepared to handle addiction at some point or another. By the same token, you can’t be a well rounded Recovery Coach if you can’t handle all facets of life. We have to be able to recognize addiction in any form, dressed up in any outfit, especially the uber expensive, designer ones…as a matter of fact, anyone struggling with anything that controls their life & negatively effects them & those that love them, yet they haven’t realized they are an “addict” because their addiction doesn’t fit into any of the mainstream “boxes”.
Whew! Sorry for rambling but I just wanted to give kudos & tell you that you have a new fan in me & I’ll be sharing your podcast with everyone I work with from here on.
I would love to share my story with you if you ever want to chat!
