In this episode, we’re getting real about something most adults never stop to unpack — the father wound. Whether your dad was absent, emotionally unavailable, or even well-intentioned but distant, the imprint he left is shaping the way you love, lead, and connect today.
You’ll discover how the unmet needs from your father are still influencing your marriage, your triggers, your self-worth, and even your ability to trust. This isn’t about blame — it’s about awareness, healing, and breaking generational patterns so your family story ends differently.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What the “father wound” actually is and how it shows up in adulthood
The hidden ways it affects your marriage, intimacy, and communication
Why so many high-achievers carry a “silent ache” from their fathers
How healing your father wound strengthens your relationship with God and your spouse
- Practical steps to begin healing and reclaiming your emotional freedom
- How to avoid creating a father wound in your own children or future children
