39. A Father's Influence in Your Life

Fathers have a lifetime influence over our lives, and our perceptions about our relationship with them determines if those memories fuel our future or diminish it. In honor of Father’s Day, I’m sharing a bit about my own dad and how my perception and relationship with him has changed over the years. 

My dad gave me the most important gift of all: love. But, like all humans, he was imperfect and carried his own childhood wounds. In today’s episode, I unpack the characteristics of masculine, or father, energy and explain how you can reject toxic behaviors and heal their influence. 

I want you to ask yourself, am I carrying any weight because of a father wound? No matter what stage of life you’re in, you have to set yourself free from the burdens of your past. I share a few journal prompts that can help guide your reflections on your relationship with your father figure. Listen in to hear about my nuanced relationship with my dad and learn tools for healing the father wound.
