This week, Laura answers a difficult question, "Do I even try to have a relationship with my dad?" Emotionally Immature parents are difficult emotional time-sucks. Trying to engage with parents who don't see you can leave you exhausted, frustrated, and unsure of yourself. How do we know when its time to give up and walk away, and when its appropriate to hold out and keep trying to forge a relationship.

WIP: "THE VOID"
Sometimes no matter how many attempts we take to move forward, nothing seems to be showing up. In this episode, Laura helps someone navigate their journey through "the void," and how when handled correctly, can be fertile times to strengthen our faith, our worth, and re-establish our radio signal to the divine.

Father Figure (Worth)
I think we can all agree that self-worth should be innate. We all are born equal and worthy. So why do some feel like God’s favorites, while others struggle with low self-worth? This episode Laura dives into how worthiness wounds show up in our lives often stemming from our reflections from the father, and how this reflection supports of hinders the connection between our worth, our passions and our purpose.
