You can grow up loved, and still feel unwanted.
In today’s solo episode, we explore a subtle yet powerful truth: being loved doesn’t always translate to being wanted.
Even in homes where love was present, many of us grew up with unmet emotional needs,carrying the quiet belief that we were too much, a burden, or invisible. That imprint doesn’t just live in our minds, it lives in our bodies. And it shapes how we experience intimacy, desire, and emotional connection in adulthood.
This episode offers compassion and clarity for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, exhausted, or like love still leaves them hollow. If you’ve ever wondered why “I love you” sometimes doesn’t land… this conversation is for you.
