About this listen
Old wounds don’t disappear. They resurface when life presses on the bruise.
In this episode, I share a moment at the firehall that triggered the wound I still carry from my dad—his absence, his silence, his refusal to acknowledge me. I talk openly about the anger that came up, the deeper longing underneath it, and the fear of inheriting parts of him I never wanted.
But more importantly, I walk through how I’ve learned to meet that pain differently. Not as the hurt son still waiting for validation, but as the man I’ve chosen to become.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever been touched by an old wound and wondered why it still stings. The truth is, the work isn’t about erasing it. It’s about deciding who you’ll be when it returns.
Takeaway: Will you meet it as the hurt child still waiting, or as the adult who can lead himself forward?
