You’re Loved… So Why Does It Still Hurt?

You can grow up loved, and still feel unwanted.In today’s solo episode, we explore a subtle yet powerful truth: being loved doesn’t always translate to being wanted.Even in homes where love was present, many of us grew up with unmet emotional needs,carrying the quiet belief that we were too much, a burden, or invisible.
