## Resource

The Father Wound isn’t just about your relationship with your dad — it’s about how you learned to navigate the world. In this deeply personal episode, I share a truth I only discovered later in life: the man who raised me is not my biological father. From that revelation, we explore what the Father Wound really is, how it forms, and how it quietly shapes your career, money patterns, relationships, boundaries, and sense of safety. An unhealed Father Wound can show up as overworking, self-sabotage, fear of authority, imposter syndrome, emotionally unavailable partners, difficulty asking for help, or feeling like you don’t truly belong (especially in professional spaces) — even when you “should” feel confident. This episode isn’t about blaming parents. It’s about awareness, responsibility, grief, and healing. We talk about re-parenting yourself, rewriting internal narratives, and choosing differently — even when familiar patterns feel like home. If you’ve ever felt like you’re still trying to prove your worth, waiting to feel chosen, or carrying a weight that was never yours to hold — this episode is for you. You are not broken. You are not too much. You’re carrying a wound — and it’s time to put it down. 👇👇👇👇 Episode 3 - The Mother Wound (most listened to episode) 🌐 Connect with Me Online 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/katiedelimon 📘 Get my book Trust the Flames : https://www.katiedelimon.com/trust-the-flames 🔗 Work With Me 1:1 Coaching — Let’s jump on a free strategy call https://calendly.com/katie-katiedelimon/30min
