We often think trauma only comes from what was done to us but what about what wasn’t?
In this episode, we explore the silent pain of Childhood Emotional Neglect — the kind that leaves no bruises but shapes how we love, trust, and see ourselves. Many grew up in homes where their needs were met, yet their emotions were unseen, dismissed, or unheard. Those invisible wounds can echo through adulthood as emptiness, self-doubt, or feeling “not enough.”
Join me as we uncover how emotional neglect shows up in our relationships, our faith, and the way we connect to others and how healing begins when we finally see the parts of ourselves that were overlooked.
This is a journey toward wholeness, grace, and self-recognition.
Because even the wounds we can’t see deserve to heal.
