What happens when the person who gave you life never really wanted you?
In this raw and unflinching conversation, we talk about what it means to grow up unwanted — and how that pain echoes into adulthood, parenting, and love itself.
My guest opens up about the invisible scars left by her mother’s rejection, and the daily work of unlearning that story.
This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about survival, forgiveness, and the courage to create love where none was modeled.
If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or simply unwanted — this one’s for you.
