Kristina and Anna unpack the Hungry Shapeshifter archetype, mapped to Enneagram 7, the Father Wound (self-worth, identity, power), and the Throat Center in Human Design. They explore how attention, identity shapeshifting, and voice become coping strategies, how this arc differs from the Vain Controller (3) and Eternal Child (4), and how it transforms into the Fabricator (Hero) and ultimately The Present (Legend). Pop-culture touchstones include Everything Everywhere All at Once and I Heart Huckabees, plus a lively “Am I the A**hole?” case that spotlights performative empathy and attention-seeking.Quick guide to this arcVillain (Primary): Hungry ShapeshifterCore hunger is attention and specialness. Masters of adopting identities and stories to secure validation.Pinnacle Villain: The ThiefSteals attention, time, and identity, often unconsciously.Successful Antagonist: The PersecutorUses pressure, performance, and voice to dominate the narrative.Wounded Child: The DefensiveHighly reactive when the crafted identity is questioned.Covert Form: The EntertainerIrresistible at parties, self-deprecating, will “do anything” for a good story.Hero: The FabricatorStops using force, integrates formerly rejected identities, chooses non-violence and nuance.Legend: The PresentStillness and presence replace performance.

What happens when a relationship shows you the deepest parts of yourself you were previously afraid to face? In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, I share how the last 5 months in a deeply transformative relationship helped me see where I was still abandoning myself, where my voice needed to grow louder, and how love can hold space for mutual healing.

If you've ever struggled with money, security, or feeling safe building your dream career, it may be rooted in something deeper—your father wound. In this episode, I explore the intersection of the father wound and your relationship with money, success, safety, and self-worth. I break down what the father wound actually is, how it affects love and relationships, and why it shows up in the areas of career and finances, especially for high-achieving women and spiritual entrepreneurs.I also share how I healed my father wound through subconscious reprogramming, inner child work, and a powerful experience at a Joe Dispenza retreat, where I met a father figure from a past life. If you've been doing the inner work but still feel stuck around success, this episode will help you explore the divine masculine, rewrite your beliefs around safety, and take powerful aligned action in your business and life.
For all our focus on what masculinity should not be, very little is known about what masculinity should be, and is. The emphasis on wounds, harm and the need for healing, may have prevented us from thinking about the ‘shadow side' of that—namely, the possibility that the results of trauma and inner damage that are playing out in the lives of many men, may indeed be indicators of yet deeper things. Could there be a deeper nature to men? Could there be more to us, beyond mere symptoms (like anger or sexual misconduct) and the need to 'heal' from them? What if I told you that there is indeed a deeper masculine reality within you, that is worth striving for? What if I told you that a blueprint for masculinity does indeed exist within you—and can be reclaimed, no matter how old you are or how much you have suffered? It has 'broader' chapters—on society, the world, media and religion—as well as very personal ones—like the story of my experience of meeting God as a father, as well as quite a few others... In this podcast I talk about my new book 'The Father-Wound and The Blueprint for Masculinity' which deals not only with the father-wound but also with what the wound has prevented us from having, and being... Some chapters deal with the way men, masculinity and fatherhood are influencing our worldview—and of course, our politics, religion, and culture—and some focus on how it shapes us internally. There is a chapter on 'the deformity of men'; there is a chapter on the need to honour and forgive our fathers; there is a chapter on the desperate need for men to have undergone a process of masculine initiation—but at bottom, it is a book that is written from a very personal, lived experience...

In this heartfelt and deeply insightful episode, I'm joined by the incredible Annie Bertrand — Ancestral Astrologer, Energy Healer, and intuitive guide — for a powerful conversation about healing the Mother Wound and liberating your lineage.Annie shares how she blends astrology, Akashic records, medical mediumship, and energy work to help women (and their hubbies) release inherited emotional blocks, break free from habits or patterns that keep them stuck in life, work, parenting, and relationships, and fulfill their Soul contracts. Together, we explore:* What healing the Mother Wound truly means* How emotional imprints from childhood show up in the chart — and the body* Why prioritizing your healing as a mother, partner, or caregiver creates a ripple effect for your entire family* The contrast between the Mother and Father Wound — and how both affect our partnerships* How to use your North Node, Moon, 4th House, and elemental chart dominance to begin your healing journey* How to begin breaking generational patterns in parenting, love & marriageWe also dive into the energies of this Cancer season, especially with Jupiter in Cancer squaring Saturn and Chiron — a time that's inviting many of us to stop over-giving and start tending to our own hearts with more intention.This episode is rich with wisdom, loving guidance, and practical ways to begin your ancestral healing journey.✨ Annie's approach is a beautiful reminder that astrology is not just a tool for insight — it's a path to emotional liberation and legacy-level transformation.Learn more about and work with Annie at: https://anniebertrand.com/Book an Astrological consultation with me now; https://www.nurturingastrology.com/consultations.html

In this powerful episode of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, I sit down with internationally respected men's healer, bestselling author, and workshop facilitator Rick Broniec.With over 35 years of experience leading men's trainings on six continents through the Mankind Project, Rick brings deep wisdom on two of the most devastating afflictions facing men today: the epidemic of isolation and the father wound.We explore why so many men lack meaningful friendships, how early programming blocks emotional intimacy, and how shame around “feminine” qualities suffocates authentic masculinity. Rick unpacks how men are trained to suppress not just their darkness—but also their gold.You'll hear why embracing the full spectrum of your emotional and spiritual self is essential to creating a healthy sexual life.We also dive into Rick's revolutionary upcoming Sacred Men's Retreat in Brazil: a week-long ayahuasca-assisted journey of deep men's work, spiritual healing, and connection, happening July 7–13, 2025.This retreat is legal, safe, guided by skilled indigenous shamans, and held in a beautiful oceanside resort just outside Rio de Janeiro.

Send us a textHealing The Father Wound Senior Pastor Pastor Keith Stewart June 15, 2025The National Center for Fathering asked troubled teenage daughters, “Where do you go for comfort?” The number one response was music. Number two was girlfriends. Three was television. And Dad? He came in 34th place. The relationship we have with our father can be one of the most formative of all our relationships for good or bad. But when our Dad is absent from the home, addicted, emotionally distant, or even abusive, it leaves a wound that can affect us for the rest of our lives. This Sunday's message is all about how to heal what we are powerless to change. It's a message that prevents the past from continuing to impose itself on the present – a message that can set you free.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What special memories do you have about your childhood? How did you get along with each of your parents? What were they like? What did you like and dislike about your parents? What were your hurts and disappointments as a child? Did you like yourself as a child? Why or why not? 2. Take some time to look over the chart on the developmental needs of children as it relates to mothers and fathers. It's important to remember that these are generalizations and there are always exceptions to any rule. But in light of this chart, where did you have strong modeling and where were there weaknesses? What did your parents do well? What did they do poorly? Can you see any evidence in your present life and relationships where this has played out for good or bad? 3. Father absence has a dramatic and profound effect on our spiritual life. Have you ever struggled with experiencing God as He reveals Himself to be in His word? Where and how have you struggled? Have you experienced any healing around parental wounds that helped you better connect with God? 4. Do you ever practice positive, Biblical affirmations in your life (which is a form of meditation)? Take some time either during your small group gathering or later at home, to look up as many Scriptures as you can find that describe our new standing in Christ. Write them down and make it your practice this week to read through the entire list at least 5 times a day. 5. Pastor Keith said there are four messages every child needs; I love you, I believe in you, I'm proud of you and I am sorry. Did you hear these messages growing up? What effect did that have on you? Do you regularly communicate these messages to your own children (even as adult children)?

This is one of the most heartfelt and transformative episodes I've ever recorded.What began as an exploration for doing our best work with Saturn moving through Aries and the lens of my new interest in understanding Saturn as the Father Archetype and Wound, turned into a deeply emotional, real-time unraveling of personal and ancestral healing — with tears, truth, and breakthrough moments woven throughout.Joined by my dear friend and fellow astrologer Melody Whinnery, we explore Saturn in Gemini in the 12th house through her chart — and what unfolds is not just a case study, but a living testament to the power of doing the work of Saturn with courage, compassion, and consciousness.Melody introduces the concept of Saturn as the Threshold Guardian — the initiator who tests us before we fully embody our path. As we reflect on our own journeys with the Father Archetype, we both come to profound realizations, including this truth: that healing often deepens after the father relationship is lost in this lifetime — and that forgiveness becomes a sacred turning point.We also weave in the current Saturn in Aries transit — and its rare, upcoming conjunction with Neptune — as a collective invitation to step into the fire of self-discovery, and do the work that leads us into our Sun, our soul, and our highest expression.If you're feeling the weight of the Father Wound, the fire of Aries season, or the emotional charge of Father's Day — this episode is for you.

Feeling emotionally exhausted from always being strong? In this episode, discover how the father wound leads to hyper-independence and disconnection from emotional wellness — and learn how soul care, science, and God’s love can help you heal and feel safe again. DescriptionHave you ever felt like you always have to be strong — even when your heart feels worn thin?Many women carry the hidden weight of father wounds — growing up without the presence of a loving father, or with a dad who was emotionally unavailable. Over time, they learn to protect themselves by becoming hyper-independent, numbing the part of their heart that still longs to be nurtured, seen, and safe.In this episode, you’ll learn how being “too strong” for too long can disconnect us from emotional wellness. Bonnie explains how father wounds often lead to hyper-independence, and how soul care helps restore trust, emotional safety, and the freedom to receive love again. Tune in to understand how hyper-independence develops as a trauma response and how it quietly impacts your ability to rest, feel connected, and be vulnerable. You’ll be guided through a breath prayer to reconnect with God’s nurturing presence, and take two practical soul care steps — rooted in scripture and science — to begin reparenting your heart and experiencing emotional wellness. Key Takeaways from Today’s Soul Care:• Why the father wound often leads to numbness or emotional shutdown• What science says about the nervous system and our need for safety• How “being strong” can block us from receiving love• Why soul care is a spiritual path to restoring vulnerability• How to gently reparent your heart with God’s truth and tenderness Breath Prayer:Inhale: He gathers the lambs in His armsExhale: and carries them close to His heart Scripture of the Week:Isaiah 40:11 —“He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart.”Isaiah 46:4 —“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you.I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” Featured Resource: FREE Soul Care Quiz at https://soulcarequiz.com Get your free personal wellness assessment – and learn which type of soul care – emotional, physical, spiritual, or social — you need most. → Take the free quiz at https://soulcarequiz.com Connect with Bonnie: Bestselling Books by Bonnie:https://amzn.to/3NpVYQd Join the Soul Care Newsletter:https://thebonniegray.com/subscribe Watch Weekly YouTube Devotionals:https://youtube.com/thebonniegray Follow Bonnie on Instagram & Facebook:@thebonniegray Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Check out Richard Rohr's latest book, The Tears of Things, where he explores the wisdom of the prophets and the realities of social sin. In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, I sit down with Father Richard Rohr—one of the most respected spiritual teachers of our time. We dive into the significance of prophecy, the necessity of self-awareness in transformation, and the ways in which religion can both illuminate and obscure the path to truth. Father Rohr shares insights from The Tears of Things, his latest book, which reframes the role of the prophets—not as finger-wagging moralists but as voices crying out against the deep, systemic sins that threaten to unravel society. Our conversation moves through themes of non-dual thinking, the dangers of religious idolatry, and how true spiritual growth requires both inner work and a commitment to the collective good. Throughout the episode, Richard offers deeply personal reflections on his own spiritual journey, the necessity of sadness and self-doubt, and the ongoing process of transformation that never really ends.

Sarah Dosanjh, a psychotherapist, and Stef, a binge recovery health coach, share personal stories and insights about how their relationships with their fathers have impacted their lives and emotional well-being.

Stef adds her perspective, sharing how her father's volatility has rendered her feeling helpless at times and describes how she has navigated her own patterns of anger. Additionally, they touch on broader themes, such as the idea of fathers wanting to feel appreciated yet struggling with their vulnerabilities, and how these dynamics play out in their children's lives. The conversation also explores the effects of absent fathers, touching on how such wounds could manifest in hypersexualization, anxious attachment, and hyper-independence.

In this deeply personal conversation, father and son discuss how father wounds are formed and healed across generations. Tony shares his own difficult childhood experiences with his distant father, including family trauma and his mother's suicide attempt, while his son reflects on misunderstanding true strength and the pendulum swing that can happen between generations.This powerful dialogue explores how men often repeat or overcompensate for their fathers' approaches to masculinity, creating a cycle that needs conscious awareness to break. Tony reveals how he decided early in life "I am not my father" and chose his own path to fatherhood, while his son acknowledges how he had to learn the hard way about the fundamental importance of family.Perfect for men struggling with their relationship with their fathers or sons, this conversation offers wisdom about acceptance, emotional availability, and the beautiful truth that it's never too late to heal and grow together. The healing comes through creating man-to-man relationships built on mutual respect and understanding that the seeds of love planted in childhood eventually bloom.

Welcome to the Explorer Poet Podcast. This episode will be a bit different. Rather than one guest, this is a group call, with a discussion facilitated by Rick Belden, who was first on the podcast back in Episode 51. He returns here for what was a virtual night of exploring personal stories, the processing of grief, and the pathway to healing. On the call, we discussed questions such as - What is a Mother Wound? What is a Father Wound? What is our inner child? How can we access and heal earlier versions of ourselves? And how do we become connected to those inner selves?

# 188 Welcome to the Healing Honeys Hotline! Ever been attracted to a 'man in power'? Someone richer, older, more successful, or even an ex you've put on a pedestal? This week, Louise dives into a listener submission, exploring the complex dynamics of dating (and being attracted) to men in positions of power—specifically, this listener's sexy AF Chemistry tutor and Louise's very own semi-toothless motorcycle instructor! Louise unpacks the conscious or subconscious seductive pull of authority figures, the fantasy-versus-reality struggle in digital relationships, the excitement of exploring kinks and desires, and the emotional toll and confusion when online connections come to an end. She discusses why we're often drawn to these powerful personalities, how to spot manipulative, ego-driven behaviors, why real safety is essential to explore your sexuality consensually, and why boundaries are critical—even in virtual situationships—to keep things liberating, fun, healthy, and on your terms. Welcome to protecting your heart in the digital world!

Modern masculinity faces many challenges, from a lack of clear role models to societal expectations that oscillate between extremes. This episode dives deep into the complex journey of healing for men, exploring the importance of reclaiming balance between the archetypes of the lover and the warrior, and why society's vilification of masculinity through terms like "toxic masculinity" can often do more harm than good. I highlight the need for men to embrace their values, build healthy boundaries, and undergo transformative initiations to rediscover their purpose. This is not just about healing old wounds but about fostering emotional growth and integrity. It's a call to men to step forward, embrace their pain as a catalyst for purpose, and take risks for deeper love, connection, and authentic change.

How do boys grow into men when their model for manhood has been abusive or absent? One of Elliott's mentees, Bradley Oberrieder, joins us to share his journey—how his father abandoned his family just as Bradley was moving from adolescence to young adulthood. How do you step into manhood when you no longer respect your dad—your model of manhood? If you've experienced a father wound—or you're dating a man who has—please join us for an honest and hopeful account of masculinity in the midst of a father wound.

Healing The Father Wound
Our relationships often carry the imprints of our childhood, especially when it comes to the complex and generally unspoken father wound. In this first episode of a four-part series, I dive deep into how early experiences with our father figures — whether through absence, emotional distance, or even subtle disconnection — shape our adult relationships in powerful ways. We explore how these wounds manifest in patterns like seeking unavailable partners, feeling inadequate, or grappling with the fear of never being enough. By understanding these dynamics and the relational cycles they create, we can begin to shift from a place of pain toward healing and deeper connection.

Talking about the father wound: what is it, what are the consequences, and how do we heal from this...? I'll share the contrast of my failed efforts to heal this trauma when I was in New Age, versus how God effortlessly healed within me when I came to Christ, by being the ultimate Father we all need. — Angela's Instagram: @angelamariescafidi — Ways to Support the Show:
