Is love something you earn — or is it something you deserve unconditionally?
In this heartfelt episode, Autumn Starr Canterbury opens up about the powerful lessons she learned growing up working horses with her father. She shares how her childhood experiences planted the belief that love was conditional — something tied to hard work, sacrifice, and performance.
From long days working cattle and building fences to striving for the perfect "Little House on the Prairie" life for her own children, Autumn’s story highlights the internal battles many survivors face: the desperate search for validation, love, and acceptance in a world that often withholds it.
Ultimately, Autumn found the strength to break free from the endless cycle of striving. She realized that love doesn’t have to be earned — and she has passed those hard-won lessons to her children, who are now forging powerful paths of their own, including one daughter who recently enlisted in the Marines.
This episode is a profound look at the cost of conditional love—and the courage it takes to redefine your worth.
