Imagine growing up without a father figure - an absence that leaves an indelible mark on your soul. That's the journey I embarked on and continue to navigate, along with countless others who've experienced this unique pain. This episode of Triumph Over Trauma brings to light the poignant narrative of Kirk Franklin, his Father's Day documentary serving as our compass. We dissect the world wind of emotions stirred, reflecting on the trauma of fatherless childhoods and their long-lasting effects even into adulthood. 

The conversation then evolves into a ray of hope as we discuss the healing process and the courage required to break generational cycles of trauma. Kirk Franklin's story stands testament to the valor it takes to seek personal healing and reconciliation with estranged family members. The need for transparency in tackling these shared struggles is emphasized, as I aim to inspire you toward your own healing journey. Join me on this profound exploration of trauma, healing, and reconciliation - a conversation that could potentially become a steppingstone on your path to healing.
