Hello, and welcome back to the Self Healers Soundboard.

This episode is being released on Father's Day here in the United States.

And while we did a Father-Wooned episode last Father's Day, it's a previous episode called

father or father figure in some way that they are dealing with and experiencing.

So we want to open up a conversation, more free-flowing, again today, to just honor this

very deep and very emotional connection that we all have, whether or not that's even

on the surface to be aware of or acknowledged.

And as we talk about, when we talk about either of our apparent figures, we acknowledge

the foundational role that those early relationships play in our adult relationships.

Outside, of course, these moments in time, whether it's on the mother side of the spectrum

or the father side of the spectrum, where, again, here in the States, we designate

a day, which usually given retail and advertising and the desire to sell cards and gifts expands

beyond that day.

Many of us are really highlighted.
