I grew up thinking I had to earn love. That people only kept me around because I was useful, funny, or impressive. But a moment at my son’s baby shower—and a quiet Easter drive with my sister—changed the way I saw connection, love, and my own worth.
In this video, I open up about what it’s like to grow up in a household where love was conditional, how that led me to chase attention through boxing, drinking, and constant achievement—and what finally made me understand the difference between being liked and being loved.
Whether you’ve struggled with childhood trauma, feelings of unworthiness, emotional disconnection, or trying to perform your way into relationships, this video will hit home.
