How not having a present father impacted my life
About this episode
In today's solo episode, I share a little more of my personal story with the hopes of helping you feel validated, less alone or even empowered.
Father's Day (or even Mother's Day) can be difficult when you have a parent that is alive yet you have no idea where they are because they left your family decades ago.
They knew you existed and they chose to leave you.
I share a little more about my childhood and about how that impacted me later when I became a parent.
