The Father Wound: How Chasing His Love Kept Me Chase Emotionally Unavailable Men


Listen Later

Why do we chase after people who can’t fully love us back? The answer runs deeper than we think.

In this powerful episode of The Femme Cast, I take you inside my personal journey—how a childhood spent longing to hear “I love you” from my father unknowingly shaped my adult relationships. Every emotionally unavailable man I chased was a reflection of that little girl inside me, still hoping for validation, still craving those three simple words.

  • How childhood experiences with emotionally unavailable fathers shape our love lives
  • Why our nervous systems become wired to chase instead of receive love
  • The hidden reason we keep seeking validation from those who can’t give it
  • The moment I realized I had to stop running—and start healing
  • How to break free from the chase and attract true emotional availability

This isn’t just about my story—it’s about all of us who have ever felt unworthy of love, who have chased instead of received, and who are finally ready to rewrite the script. If you’re tired of the painful cycle, this episode is your wake-up call.

🎧 Press play now. The love you seek is already seeking you—but first, you have to stop running.

Ready to stop abandoning yourself for love? To finally rise from the wreckage of betrayal and become the woman you were born to be?
