Ep. 7 - Father, Interrupted: A Raw Look At Estrangement, Resilience, And Redemption
What happens when your father is more myth than memory? In this emotionally charged episode, we shift gears as Richard vulnerably opens up about his fragmented relationship with his dad—a man known more for his absences than his presence. From childhood consequences tied to inherited trauma, to silent reunions and unexpected moments of grace, Richard recounts the complexity of seeking love from a man who was never fully there.
As Father’s Day echoes in the background, the conversation dives into the impact of paternal absence, generational pain, and how fatherhood can shape—and sometimes shatter—our sense of identity. This isn’t just a story of loss; it’s one of reclamation, truth-seeking, and the quiet triumph of choosing a different legacy.
