This week’s episode is a deeply personal and powerful conversation with my special guest [Insert Guest Name], as we explore the reality of healing father wounds — especially when the father figure in your life was emotionally unavailable, abusive, or completely absent.

Together, we talk about:

• What a “father wound” actually is (and what it isn’t)

• The impact of growing up without emotional safety or support

• How these wounds can show up in adulthood — from relationships to self-worth

• What it takes to rebuild trust — in God, in others, and in ourselves

• How we’ve both found healing through faith, therapy, community… and intentional work

Whether your father was physically gone, emotionally distant, or harmful in other ways, please know this: You are not alone. You are not FatherLESS — you’re FatherFULL. 💛

📝 Journal Prompt: What is one belief or behavior you developed as a result of your father wound — and what truth can you replace it with? 🎙️ Guest Spotlight: Marselle Cook-Morrison is the host of Through My Father’s Eyes — a powerful podcast centered on healing father wounds through faith and inner work.

🎙️ Episode 10 – I Can’t Fix Them: Making Peace with Someone Else’s Journey Follow-up to Episode 9: Free Will vs. Expectations

What happens when the person you’ve been hoping for… praying for… waiting on… just doesn’t change?

In this follow-up to Episode 9, we’re going deeper — into the quiet grief of realizing that someone else’s journey may never lead to healing. This isn’t about bitterness. It’s about wisdom. It’s about learning to release what was never yours to carry — and finally reclaim your peace.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why heartbreak lingers even when no one “did” anything wrong

• What scripture says about letting go and trusting God with the outcome

• How to hold people lightly, not tightly — even when you love them

• Why it hurts to let go… and why it’s still the right choice

Scriptures referenced: Galatians 6:5 · Proverbs 4:23 · Proverbs 3:5–6 · Isaiah 26:3 · Ruth 3 · Job 2

📝 Journal Prompt: Who am I trying to carry emotionally — and why do I feel responsible for their growth? What would it look like to hold them lightly, not tightly?

What do you do when someone makes a choice that breaks your heart… and you can’t undo it?

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the emotional tension between free will and expectation — especially in relationships where love is real, but outcomes are disappointing. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or former partner, watching someone make a painful decision can leave you confused, hurt, and holding on to a future that may never come.

Inside this solo episode, I’m sharing:

• A personal story sparked by a real-life conversation with my lifelong sister-friends

• The psychology behind why it’s so hard to let go when we expected something different

• Scripture that offers comfort and clarity (Psalm 34:18 + Proverbs 19:21)

• A gentle, soul-searching journal prompt to help you release and move forward

Journaling isn’t just for writers. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure of what to do next. In this episode, Coach Del shares how 5 minutes of journaling a day can help you tune into your emotions, process life’s hard moments, and hear what your heart has been trying to say all along.

You’ll hear one of Del’s own moments of breakthrough through journaling, plus easy prompts to get you started — no perfection required.

✨ Feel it. Write it. Heal it. Because your healing doesn’t have to be complicated — just intentional.

Ever been told you’re too loud, too emotional, too intense? Let’s break that lie wide open. In this episode, Coach Del walks you through how personality awareness — including tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) — can help you understand how you were wired by God on purpose, for a purpose.

You’ll learn how self-awareness leads to confidence, better boundaries, and healthier relationships. And you’ll hear a personal story about what happened when Del stopped shrinking to fit expectations and started honoring her design.

✨ You’re not difficult. You’re designed. Press play to find the language your heart has been waiting for!

Episode 6 – Letting Go When Closure Never Comes

Sometimes we never get the apology. The reason. The explanation. And if we’re not careful, we’ll let the ache of unanswered questions keep us bound to heartbreak long after the moment has passed. In this episode, we explore how to surrender the need for closure and instead embrace the deeper healing God invites us into.

I’m sharing stories of the painful goodbyes I never saw coming — from relationships, opportunities, and even people I once trusted. We’ll talk through what it means to grieve the open-ended, give ourselves grace, and still grow forward.

✨ Plus, I’ll leave you with two scriptures that reminded me I don’t need someone else's permission to heal — just God’s reassurance that I can.

What do you do when you’re running on empty — literally and spiritually?

In this episode, I’m taking you back to one of the lowest valleys of my life: a season of single motherhood, financial heartbreak, and an empty gas tank that nearly broke me. But it didn’t. Because even when I felt like I had nothing left, God reminded me I still had something powerful: belief.

We’re unpacking how confidence carried me through lack, and how resilience was built in the process. If you’ve ever felt financially stuck, emotionally drained, or just tired of holding it together… this one’s for you, my friend.

💬 Reflection Prompt: What did financial hardship try to make you believe about yourself? What truth are you choosing instead?
