Back to EpisodesThe Hidden Father Wound: My Dad Loved Me, But There Were Things I Needed
Description
My father loved me. He wasn't abusive. He wasn't a bad man. He worked hard, provided for our family, and did the best he could with what he had. Yet as I began reading Where Were You When I Needed You, Dad?, I realized something that changed how I viewed my own journey:
My father loved me, and there were still things I needed that I didn't receive.
In this deeply personal episode of Worthy & Abundant, I share my reflections on the father wound—not to blame our parents, but to better understand how childhood experiences can shape our beliefs about ourselves.
We explore:
- What the father wound is
- How emotionally unavailable or absent fathers can impact self-worth
- Why children often believe, "Maybe it's me"
- The connection between childhood experiences, validation, and worthiness
- How healing begins with compassion instead of blame
- Why you have always been worthy
If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, perfectionism, seeking approval, feeling "not enough," or believing you have to earn love, I hope this conversation reminds you that your past may explain some of the beliefs you've carried—but it doesn't get to define your future.
