| 0:23.6 | What's going on? My Soul family. Welcome back to another episode of The Awakely Jake |
| 0:28.8 | Show. On today's episode, I'm going to be talking about how father wounds impact your |
| 0:34.4 | relationships. And at the end of this episode, I'm going to give you some tips on how to |
| 0:38.9 | actually heal these father wounds. Now, for those of you that are not familiar with what I went through |
| 0:44.8 | in my childhood with my father, I'll make it very brief. Basically, I grew up in a household with a father |
