Episode notes

This episode explores the father wound — the deep emotional imprint left by abandonment, addiction, avoidance, divorce, and the pain of growing up with a father who could not show up emotionally. We unpack how jealousy, judgment, and resentment shape the child’s identity, and how some fathers prefer their children broken because healing exposes their own unhealed wounds. This is a grounding, compassionate guide for anyone ready to break the cycle, reclaim their worth, and rise beyond the pain they inherited.
