Hey friend! We’re back with another episode in our Feeling Sexy series, and this one gets real. Today, Josh & Cassie are diving into Chapter 6 of their book, Feeling Sexy: A Christian Woman’s Guide to Sexual Confidence & Desire, and the topic? Emotional maturity in marriage—and what happens when it’s missing.

In the early days of love, everything feels dreamy. But when the honeymoon phase fades and real life sets in, those adorable quirks can turn into major irritations. That’s when we often default into one of two unhealthy patterns in marriage: The Brat or the Doormat.

In this episode, Josh (certified Christian s*x therapist) and Cassie unpack:

• What it looks like when wives show up as “Brats” (tantrums, sulking, withholding)
• How “Doormats” bury their voice to avoid conflict (hello, people-pleasing!)
• Why both are rooted in emotional immaturity—not brokenness
• How to step into your God-given confidence and grow into a mature, sexy, whole woman

Because here’s the truth: great s*x isn’t built on manipulation or passivity—it flows from maturity, self-awareness, and emotional connection.

Key Takeaways:

• The “Brat” and the “Doormat” are just unhealed parts of us—not our final identity
• Emotional maturity is sexy—it builds trust, safety, and real connection
• You can be strong and soft. Assertive and loving. Confident and kind.
• Growth in the bedroom starts with growth in the heart

No matter where you find yourself—whether you've been defaulting to Brat-mode, hiding as a Doormat, or somewhere in between—there’s hope, grace, and room to grow. You were made for more than emotional survival. You were made for intimacy that’s rich, mature, and deeply satisfying, and we’re here to help you get there—one honest conversation at a time.
