11 – Daddy issues?

Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

In this episode, we explore the deep and often unnoticed impact the father figure has on our inner development and the choices we make later in life. Even when a father was physically present but emotionally distant or cold, the imprint of that relationship can remain hidden until adulthood. We look at how early experiences with a father shape our self-esteem, sense of safety, and ability to form close relationships. Why do so many women choose partners whose behavior unconsciously mirrors familiar traits of their fathers, even when those choices bring pain? Why do men who grew up with absent...

Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

What does it actually mean to feel resourced, and how do we find our way back when we’ve drifted far from that place? In today’s gentle and personal episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite concepts from Russian: “being in your resource.” It’s that grounded, steady inner state that helps you meet life’s chaos without being consumed by it. We’ll explore the two kinds of resource: Global resource: the big-picture safety nets that hold you Local resource: the small, daily rituals that either drain or restore you I’ll also walk you through a simple mindfulness...

This is for you if you’ve ever found yourself overgiving in relationships, afraid to set boundaries, or quietly hoping someone will finally see your worth.

We talk about:

Why the “good girl” role forms in childhood
How emotional disconnection from the father shapes this dynamic
What it looks like in adult relationships (spoiler: it often involves emotional limbo and self-blame)
The key steps to healing: building your own inner compass, saying no, and choosing what’s good for you

You’ll learn how to move from Cinderella to sovereign woman — someone who no longer waits to be chosen, but chooses herself.

This episode is gentle, personal, and deeply validating. Come as you are — especially if you’re tired of earning love.

Listen now and share it with a friend who always tries to be “the good one.”
