About this listen

What happens when love was earned — not freely given?

In this soul-stirring episode of Through My Father’s Eyes, we’re diving into the silent struggle of daughters who only felt seen when they were succeeding. If your father praised you when you brought home trophies, showed up when you were winning, or only offered affection when you were achieving — this one is for you.

We’ll explore:

  • How performance-based love shaped your self-worth

  • Why perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout feel so familiar

  • The fear that failure = rejection

  • How some daughters overachieve to feel loved, while others give up to avoid the pain

  • How God offers a love that doesn’t have to be earned — only received

Because love was never meant to be a transaction. You are already enough, even when you’re still.
