In this episode of Not Yo Avg Auntie’s Podcast, Jo, Ki, and Jay get real about the phrase that’s been weaponized against women for decades - “Daddy Issues.” But we’re flipping the script.
For years, folks have thrown that term at women like it’s shade, not realizing it’s way deeper than what they think. We’re breaking down the real reasons behind the phrase absent dads, emotionally unavailable fathers, toxic step daddies, or the “he was there but not really” types.
Jo, Ki, and Jay unpack how father wounds show up in relationships, dating, self-worth, and even your job. We’re talkin’ emotional baggage, people-pleasing, abandonment triggers, and how to stop letting your past play puppeteer in your grown-ass life.
This conversation is about more than blame, it’s about breaking cycles, healing forward, and not letting anyone reduce your story to a one-liner.
It’s time to stop carrying what your father didn’t know how to hold.
