The Scars of An Absent Father

You’re a strong, independent woman—you’ve got it together, and you didn’t need a father to get here…or at least, that’s what you keep telling yourself. But what if the absence of a father has left scars you didn’t know were there? For so many women, brushing off the pain of an absent dad feels like strength. Join Monay and a therapist as they explore what may be under that “strong” exterior… self-worth questions, trust issues, and intimacy struggles you’ve buried for too long.

For anyone who’s been labeled “too tough” or who’s told herself she’s fine without him, this conversation dives into the deeper struggles that come from burying the hurt. It’s time to look at how those experiences might be setting you up for toxic cycles, self-sabotage, and pushing love away. This is a chance to look deeper at the patterns that might be holding you back, the toxic cycles that started way before your first heartbreak, and the need for closure that no one talks about.

Sometimes, being “strong” is about allowing yourself to feel what you’ve been holding back and embracing the journey to growth without shame. Join Monay’s journey as we talk about what it really means to heal, to stop pretending, and to finally let yourself be open to the love and growth you deserve. Because sometimes, real strength comes from facing the pain you thought you’d left behind.
