In the first episode of this heartfelt new series, we’re gently pulling back the curtain on a topic that many women quietly carry: daddy issues. So often dismissed, misunderstood, or reduced to stereotypes, the truth is far more layered—and far more personal.
This conversation isn’t about blame, but about impact. We’re exploring how absent or inconsistent fathers can leave invisible marks on our sense of self, our relationships, and the way we move through the world. And while men can experience this too, today we’re focusing on the emotional journey from a woman’s perspective.
I’ll share what it looked like for me to uncover my own daddy issues—and how simply acknowledging them became the first powerful step toward healing. This episode is an invitation to reflect, release, and begin to reconnect with parts of yourself you may not even realize were waiting to be seen.
