Piety & Personality: Discovering the Temperaments with Rosemary McGuire Berry

In this episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, Robyn sits down with Catholic author Rosemary McGuire Berry to talk about her newest book, Piety & Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints. Together, they explore how understanding the four classic temperaments—choleric, sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic—can help us grow in holiness, parent with more peace, and live with greater self-awareness.

Rosemary shares how the temperaments show up in the lives of the saints and what each temperament can teach us about our strengths and struggles. Whether you're a choleric mom, a melancholic teen, or a phlegmatic dad, this episode will encourage you to live more intentionally and joyfully in the truth of who God made you to be.
