  • 21. How an Absent Father Shapes Your Identity and Your View of God

    How does your relationship with your father shape the way you see yourself, and the way you experience God as a Father?

    In this episode we explore how an absent or emotionally unavailable father can impact identity, relationships, and faith. You’ll also learn how these experiences can shape the way we relate to God, and how healing begins when we separate what an earthly father could not give from what God the Father has always offered.

    If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of insecurity, abandonment, or distance in your relationship with God, this conversation will help you begin reframing your identity as a daughter who is seen, chosen, and deeply loved.

  • 20. 4 Reasons Why We Lose Our Identity in Motherhood

    Have you ever felt like you don’t know who you are outside of being a mom?

    In this episode we explore a gentle reframe of why our motherhood experience may feel heavy.

    What if you didn’t lose your identity in motherhood? What if motherhood is revealing parts of your identity that were shaped long before you became a mom?

    We talk about four common ways identity is formed and magnified in motherhood:

    • Identity we learned through family and early roles
    • Identity we built to survive painful or stressful experiences
    • Identity that becomes disconnected from our spiritual foundation
    • Identity reduced to the roles we carry
    • If motherhood has felt heavier than you expected, this conversation will help you understand why, and remind you that awareness is the first step toward healing and rediscovering who you’re becoming.
