A broken man can only serve to break generations of women, and the consequences of fatherlessness reach deeper than most realize.
In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with my good friend RC Blakes, one of the most powerful voices on relationships, self-worth, and healing, to unpack the hidden struggles women face when they grow up without a strong father figure.
- Why do so many women struggle with choosing the right partner?
- How does fatherlessness create deep emotional and relational wounds?
- What can women (and men) do to break this cycle and step into wholeness?
I’ve seen firsthand how the absence of a healthy masculine presence in a woman’s life can shape the partners she attracts and the pain she endures. RC Blakes and I dive deep into the “approval trap”, why many women unknowingly seek validation from the wrong men, and how toxic masculinity subtly manipulates and drains women’s self-esteem.
I've walked my own journey of healing and growth and I know that without doing the deep work, we keep repeating painful patterns. Whether you’ve struggled in relationships, questioned your self-worth, or want to create healthier connections in your life, this conversation will challenge you to think differently.
