Sometimes love feels uneven. One parent becomes the safe place, the favorite, the fun one, and the other becomes the background noise. It hurts. And even though we know it’s not personal, it still feels deeply personal.
This episode dives into what happens inside us when our child prefers the other parent, the jealousy we don’t want to name, the guilt we try to hide, and the quiet self-doubt that can sneak into our every interaction.
We’ll talk about where these emotions come from, how they connect to our own childhood experiences, and how to transform that envy into something healing - something that strengthens our bond with our child rather than eroding it and repeating the same patterns from our own childhoods.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why not me?” , this episode will meet you exactly where you are and help guide you on exactly what to do to repair it.
