101. Now That You Know the Wound, What Are You Going to Do About It?
Sis, you've identified the wound. You understand why you struggle with boundaries, why you keep choosing emotionally unavailable people, and why you sometimes feel guilty for putting yourself first.
But here's the real question: Now that you know where the pain came from, what are you going to do about it?
In Episode 101 of Through My Father's Eyes with Marselle, we're having an honest girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversation about moving beyond recognizing our wounds and beginning to make different choices.
We're talking about breaking unhealthy patterns, recognizing when childhood pain is influencing adult decisions, and...
100. When the Man Who Was Supposed to Protect You Became the One You Needed Protection From
🎙️ EPISODE 100: When the Man Who Was Supposed to Protect You Became the One You Needed Protection From
What happens when the first man who was supposed to love you, protect you, and make you feel safe becomes the very person who causes your deepest wounds?
For our milestone 100th episode of Through My Father's Eyes, we're having one of our most powerful and necessary conversations yet.
I'm joined by special guest Del Smith, host of Bounce Back, Black Woman!, as we explore the painful reality of growing up with an abusive father and the e...
99. Sis, Look How Far You've Come
Sis, when was the last time you stopped and gave yourself credit for how far you've come?
Not how far you still have to go.
Not the mistakes you've made.
Not the things you're still struggling with.
But how far you've actually come.
Maybe you started this healing journey carrying rejection, abandonment, disappointment, and pain from a father who couldn't love you the way you needed.
Maybe you spent years questioning your worth, chasing love, struggling with boundaries, or blaming yourself for things that were never your...
98. Who Are You Without The Father Wound
Sis...
Who are you when you're not trying to prove you're enough?
Who are you when you're not chasing somebody's love?
Who are you when you're not waiting for an apology?
Who are you when you're not fixing everybody?
Who are you when you're not being the strong one?
And who are you when you're no longer simply trying to survive?
Maybe you've carried your father wound for so long that you don't know where the wound ends...
and YOU begin.
...
97. You Keep Choosing What Feels Familiar, Not What Feels Healthy
Sis, have you ever looked back at your relationships and wondered:
“Why do I keep choosing the same kind of person?”
Different face.
Different name.
Different relationship.
But somehow...
the same feeling.
Emotionally unavailable. Inconsistent. Hot one day and cold the next. You're constantly wondering where you stand, chasing communication, making excuses, or trying to prove that you're worth choosing.
But what if what you're calling chemistry is actually familiarity?
When inconsistency was part of your first experience with love, consistency can f...
96. Grieving The Father You Needed But Never Had
How do you grieve someone who's still alive?
How do you mourn a relationship that existed—but never became what you needed it to be?
Maybe your father is still here, but the relationship you dreamed about never was.
Maybe you're still waiting for the phone call.
The apology.
The acknowledgment.
The “I'm proud of you.”
The explanation.
The moment when he finally understands what his absence, rejection, inconsistency, or actions did to you.
Sis, sometimes you're not grieving the man.
...
95. Stop Chasing The Love He Should Have Given You Freely
Sis, what if the reason you keep chasing unavailable people has less to do with them—and more to do with the little girl who spent years trying to get her father to choose her?
Maybe you learned early that love had to be earned.
So you became good enough.
Helpful enough.
Successful enough.
Quiet enough.
Strong enough.
Anything to finally feel chosen.
But then you grew up...
and the audition never stopped.
Different man.
Same chase.
...
94. You Don't Get To Control Me Anymore - Taking Your Life Back After Father Wounds
What happens when you finally stop waiting for the man who hurt you to apologize, change, understand your pain, or give you closure?
You start taking your life back.
Sis, your healing does not require his permission.
In Episode 94 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're shifting the focus from what your father did to what you choose to do next.
You cannot rewrite your childhood. You cannot force an apology. You cannot make someone become the father you needed.
But you can decide that his choices will no lo...
93. He Hurt You Then - Why Are You Still Letting Him Control You Now
He may not be in your life anymore, but is the pain he caused still making decisions for you?
Maybe your father abandoned you, rejected you, failed to protect you, or never gave you the love and affirmation you needed. Years later, you may still struggle with trusting people, receiving love, setting boundaries, or believing you're enough.
Sis, he already took enough. He doesn't get your future too.
In this episode of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're talking about the uncomfortable ways a father wound can continue controlling your adult life—even when...
92. YOU’VE SPENT YOUR WHOLE LIFE BEING WHO EVERYBODY NEEDED—BUT WHO ARE YOU?
You're somebody's mother.
Somebody's wife.
Somebody's daughter.
Somebody's friend.
Somebody's caregiver.
Somebody's problem solver.
Somebody's prayer warrior.
Everybody knows exactly who you are to them.
But sis...
Who are you to YOU?Somewhere between raising children, building relationships, working, serving, helping, fixing problems, supporting family, and being the person everybody can depend on, it's possible to slowly lose touch with the woman underneath all those responsibilities.
Not because you did anything wrong.
But because life kept requiring...
91. STOP BEGGING FOR CLOSURE FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE COMFORTABLE HURTING YOU
What if the apology never comes?
What if they never explain why they left, why they hurt you, why they didn't protect you, or why they treated you the way they did?
Will you stay stuck waiting for answers—or will you give yourself permission to heal anyway?
Sometimes the hardest part of moving forward isn't letting go of the person. It's letting go of the belief that we need them to finally acknowledge what they did before we can have peace.
In Episode 91 of Through My Father’s Eyes, we're havi...
90. YOU KEEP CALLING IT LOVE BECAUSE YOU’RE AFRAID TO CALL IT WHAT IT IS
What if some of the things you've been calling love were actually rejection, inconsistency, emotional starvation, fear of abandonment, or the desperate need to finally be chosen?
Sis, this conversation goes deep.
Sometimes we don't choose relationships based on what's healthy—we choose based on what's familiar.
If you grew up chasing your father's attention, wondering whether he would show up, trying to earn affection, or questioning why you weren't enough for him to stay, those wounds don't automatically disappear when you become an adult.
Sometimes they follow you straight into yo...
89. “YOU LEARNED TO SURVIVE SO WELL, YOU FORGOT HOW TO LIVE”
You learned how to keep going when you were hurting.
You learned how to show up when you were exhausted. You learned how to take care of everybody else, figure things out on your own, hide your emotions, and say “I’m fine” even when you were falling apart inside.
And somewhere along the way, survival became a way of life.
In this powerful episode of Through My Father’s Eyes, we’re talking about what happens when the survival skills that once protected you begin preventing you from experiencing the life God is trying...
88. Stop Bleeding on People Who Never Cut You
Unhealed pain doesn't always stay in the past. Sometimes it shows up in our marriages, friendships, parenting, and even our relationship with God. In this episode of Through My Father's Eyes, we're talking about recognizing when old father wounds are influencing new relationships—and how to stop making healthy people pay for injuries they didn't cause.

What happens when a little girl has to become strong before she's ready?

81. Special Episode: Sometimes Healing Looks Like Stepping Away
In this special episode of Through My Father's Eyes, I share a personal part of my healing journey. This year, Father's Day fell on the anniversary of my father's death, followed shortly by what would have been his birthday.

In this honest conversation, I talk about giving yourself permission to pause, why grief doesn't follow a timeline, and how even those who are healing still have moments when they need to slow down and let...
