In this episode, I talk about something that came up for me during a long meditation which released a deep wave of anger toward my dad and the masculine. Anger isn't an emotion I’ve been able to access for most of my life, and letting myself feel it opened up some big realizations about how my relationship with my father shaped the men I attracted, the way I closed my heart, and even the harsh masculine voice in my own head.

I share memories I’ve carried for years, what I’ve recently understood about the way he loves, and the forgiveness I’m still learning to offer him and myself. Respecting men fully begins with healing this part of myself first. This one is tender, honest, and very present for me right now.
