Join us as we explore the complex and often painful reality of the father wound in both men and women.

Episode 97: Echoes of the Chains

This week is a journey through time, a stark look at the enduring impact of a brutal system. We go beyond the sanitized history books and the simplified narratives, delving into the very DNA of a people and a nation forever altered by the transatlantic slave trade. From the vibrant, complex societies of pre-colonial Africa to the dehumanizing brutality of the Middle Passage, we trace the origins of a trauma that echoes through generations. We unpack the cruel paradox of the Emancipation Proclamation, a promise of freedom that failed to erase the shackles of systemic oppression. We explore how this "peculiar institution" birthed a legacy of injustice that continues to manifest in our modern world. We connect the dots between Jim Crow laws and today's mass incarceration rates, between the economic disenfranchisement of the past and the wealth gap of the present. This is not just a story of suffering, but of resilience, of a people who have built, created, and thrived in the face of relentless adversity. This episode is an unfiltered conversation about the unpaid debt of history, a crucial exploration of how we can finally move forward by truly understanding where we've been.
