What if the parent you always thought didn’t like you… actually loved you in the deepest, most enduring way?
In this powerful episode, we explore how writing—and revisiting the past—can reveal a love that was always there but hard to see. Our guest shares the emotional realization that her mother, though often critical and distant, loved her enough to teach her how to survive.
“She didn’t like me… but she loved me,” she says. “And that was a gift I didn’t fully understand until I wrote this book.”
This conversation dives into the complex layers of parent-child relationships, emotional survival, and the unexpected healing that can come from looking back with new eyes. If you’ve ever questioned the love of someone who raised you, or wondered what was behind their silence or sharp edges—this one’s for you.
