Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthShould You Talk to Your Father About How He Hurt You?| Healing from Father Wounds (Daddy Issues Ep.29)Some healing happens in silence. Some healing happens in conversation. But how do you know which one your heart needs—and when?In today’s episode of Beloved, we’re unpacking a sensitive but necessary question: Should you talk to your father (or a father figure) about how he hurt you? And if so, when and how do you do it in a way that is safe, Spirit-led, and rooted in wisdom?Whether your father was emotionally absent, critical, unreliable, or hurt you in deeper ways—many of us carry unspoken pain. And sometimes, that ache com...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthWhat Your Love Language Might Say About Your Father WoundHey beloved,Today’s episode is a tender one—and honestly, one I wish someone had gently walked me through years ago.You’ve probably heard of the five love languages:Words of affirmation, physical touch, acts of service, quality time, and receiving gifts.They’re beautiful tools to help us understand how we connect with others…But here’s the question I want to gently pose today:What if the love language you crave most is the one you never received from your father?What if that deep need isn’t just a preference… but a wound?...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthForgiving Ourselves for Who We Were In Survival | Healing from Father Wounds (Daddy Issues Ep.26)Dear Beloved,There’s a unique kind of ache that comes after healing begins.When the fog lifts and you can finally see clearly, you start to connect the dots:The choices you made. The patterns you repeated. The people you clung to.And the voice of shame tries to whisper:"How could you not have known?"But here’s the truth I’m learning:You didn’t know… because you were surviving.You weren’t being reckless. You were being wounded.And God never stopped seeing you with compassion.In this week’s...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthWhen They Keep Crossing the Line | Healing from Father Wounds (Daddy Issues Ep.25)Have you ever set a boundary… only for it to be ignored, questioned, or pushed aside?This episode is for the boundary breakers in our lives—the ones who love bomb, guilt trip, dismiss, or spiritualize their way past our “no.”In this conversation, we talk about:* The different types of boundary breakers (and how they show up—sometimes subtly)* Why some people ignore your limits (and why it’s not your fault)* Biblical insight on protecting your peace without losing your voice* How to respond when someone keep...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthWhat Makes a Relationship Feel Safe? | Healing from Father Wounds (Daddy Issues Ep.24)Have you ever been in a relationship where you couldn’t fully exhale?Where you second-guessed your words, quieted your feelings, or walked on eggshells just to keep the peace?This week on Beloved, we’re talking about one of the most important (yet overlooked) elements of every healthy relationship: emotional safety.In this episode, I explore:* What emotional safety actually is—and why it matters* How a lack of it shapes your self-expression, relationships, and even your spirituality* What breaks emotional safety (and why it often starts in childh...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthSetting Boundaries Without Guilt | Healing from Father Wounds (Daddy Issues Ep.23)Have you ever said “yes” when everything inside you screamed “no”? Or stayed silent just to keep the peace—even though something felt off?Welcome back to Beloved. I’m Cherise Rochelle, and today’s episode is for anyone who feels guilty for protecting their peace. We’re unpacking how to set boundaries without guilt—and how boundaries are not betrayals of love, but powerful expressions of it.1. Why Guilt Shows Up When You Set BoundariesIf you were raised believing love means self-sacrifice, saying no can feel like selfishness or rejection. Maybe you played the “peacekeeper”...

Overleveraged, OverconfidentThe Blacklist Boss: Osman Semerci’s Global CDO Meltdown and Tax Fraud ComebackIn the mid-2000s, a little-known banker named Osman Semerci rocketed from relative obscurity to Global Head of FICC at Merrill Lynch—not through decades of seasoning, but by threatening to walk.This episode dissects how Semerci’s audacity—and Merrill’s hunger for mortgage profits—fueled an era of breathtaking risk. We follow the arc from boardroom brinkmanship to the multibillion-dollar CDO bets that left the bank teetering as the subprime crisis erupted.Host Cherise Lloyd peels back the layers of power, posture, and misplaced confidence that turned a career l...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthWhat Does a Healthy Boundary Actually Look Like? | Healing from Father Wounds (Daddy Issues Ep.22)Have you ever wondered if you were being loving—or just letting others walk over you? If your silence was wisdom—or fear?Welcome back to Beloved. I’m Cherise Rochelle. Today we’re exploring a key question: What does a healthy boundary actually look like?Especially for those raised to confuse love with self-abandonment, boundaries can feel harsh or unloving. But when God restores our identity, He teaches us how to protect it.1. What Are Boundaries, Really?Boundaries aren’t walls or punishment. They’re clarity. They mark where you end and someone else begins.Think...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthHow Do I Forgive a Father Who Didn’t Protect Me?”There are some wounds we don’t talk about often—wounds that go so deep, we build our entire lives around avoiding their pain. For many of us, that pain starts at the root of something we never chose: a broken relationship with a father or father figure.Whether it was through emotional absence, inconsistency, harshness, or silence, many of us carry invisible scars from the one person who was meant to protect us. And even years later, we still feel the effects in how we relate to love, safety, authority, and even God.In toda...

And you don’t have to earn what grace already gave you.In this episode, we e...

Beloved: Christian Healing for Identity & Self-WorthWhy Don’t I Feel Good Enough? Confronting the Root of InsecurityDo you walk into a room and wonder if you belong?Do you compare yourself to others and always come up short?Insecurity can quietly shape how we see ourselves and how we show up in the world. In this episode, we get to the root of insecurity — where it comes from, how it distorts our identity, and the way it holds us back from walking confidently in who God created us to be.Whether it began with a parent’s silence, or even if it was someone or somewhere else, that made you question your...

And when they go unhealed, they don’t just sit quietly. They shape identity, affect how we love and relate, and can ripple into future generations unless grace steps in.In this episode, we di...

Over-apologise for existing? Stay in relationships that don’t honour you? These are often signs of a deeper wound — the belief that you’re not worth loving.If you’ve ever swallowed your feelings to avoid being “too much,” or accepted less than you deserve just to feel loved — you’re not alone. Many of us carry unspoken wounds that whisper: You’re not worth loving.In this episode of Beloved, we unpack how low self-worth is often formed in early life thr...
