In this episode, host Dr. Steve Hudgins and Co host Kenya Evelyn explore the profound impact of fatherhood, masculine identity, and the lasting effects of the “father wound.”
Together, they reflect on what it really means to be a father—diving into personal stories, the pressures men face, and the ways our upbringing shapes our sense of self-worth and belonging.

As we approach Father’s Day, this episode is a celebration and recognition of every man who steps up, the unique gift fathers bring, and an invitation to all of us—men and women alike—to parent ourselves with compassion. Join us for an honest, uplifting conversation full of gratitude, reflection, and encouragement for anyone on the path to healing and self-discovery.
