The Difference Between a Childish and an Adult Relationship (207)

January 26, 2026 • Alan Lazaros and Emilia Smith

Welcome to The Conscious Couples Podcast with Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros. In today’s episode, the focus is on what separates relationships that grow stronger from those that stay stuck in old patterns. This conversation is for couples and singles who want real connection, emotional maturity, and a partnership built to last. The episode invites honest reflection on how intimacy, responsibility, and long-term commitment are shaped over time, often in quiet and unseen ways. It speaks to anyone who senses that love should feel steadier, safer, and more intentional than it does now.

If you are ready to raise your standards and stop repeating the same cycles, this episode offers a powerful pause to reset how you approach love and partnership. Listen with care and let this be the moment your relationship grows.
