I break down what people really mean when they talk about “daddy issues” and the deeper father wound that often goes unspoken. I explore how a woman’s relationship with her father can shape the way she experiences love, trust, and validation in adulthood. We look at the patterns that emerge - not from blame, but from understanding - and how these dynamics show up in relationships. Most importantly, I talk about what it takes to recognize and break these cycles so they don’t keep repeating.
