Show notes
This week’s episode is a deeply personal and powerful conversation with my special guest, Marselle Cook Morrison, as we explore the reality of healing father wounds — especially when the father figure in your life was emotionally unavailable, abusive, or completely absent.
Together, we talk about:
What a “father wound” actually is (and what it isn’t)
The impact of growing up without emotional safety or support
How these wounds can show up in adulthood — from relationships to self-worth
What it takes to rebuild trust — in God, in others, and in ourselves
How we’ve both found healing through faith, therapy, community… and intentional work
Whether your father was physically gone, emotionally distant, or harmful in other ways, please know this: You are not alone. You are not FatherLESS — you’re FatherFULL. 💛
