We grow up believing that once we have it all — the body, the money, the success, the love — we’ll finally feel whole. But what if you reach all of it… and still feel empty? In this deeply personal and tender conversation, my guest, Kevin Palmieri, share what it was like growing up without a father, the emotions, and the surprising moment everything changed when he met him for the first time at 27. We talk about the pain we carry, the parts of us that feel wounded, and how healing isn’t about being “fixed” — it’s about learning to hold those parts gently. This episode is about compassion, forgiveness, and finding peace — not from having all the answers, but from finally allowing yourself to feel and be seen. If you’re on your own healing journey, or if you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it all together while carrying so much inside… this is for you. You're not alone.
