A broken man can only serve to break generations of women, and the consequences of fatherlessness reach deeper than most realize. In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with my good friend RC Blakes, one of the most powerful voices on relationships, self-worth, and healing, to unpack the hidden struggles women face when they grow up without a strong father figure. Why do so many women struggle with choosing the right partner? How does fatherlessness create deep emotional and relational wounds? What can women (and men) do to break this cycle and step into wholeness? I’ve seen firsthand how the absence of a healthy masculine presence in a woman’s life can shape the partners she attracts and the pain she endures. RC Blakes and I dive deep into the “approval trap”, why many women unknowingly seek validation from the wrong men, and how toxic masculinity subtly manipulates and drains women’s self-esteem. I've walked my own journey of healing and growth and I know that without doing the deep work, we keep repeating painful patterns. Whether you’ve struggled in relationships, questioned your self-worth, or want to create healthier connections in your life, this conversation will challenge you to think differently.
