    Daddy Issues [AUDIO]

    DADDY ISSUES | The Father Wound, Generational Trauma & Breaking the Cycle | kill pride club ABOUT THIS EPISODE Most men are carrying wounds their fathers never had language for. In this episode of kill pride club, Terrence Smith sits with three men who've built organizations around fatherhood — Rashamod Torrance (founder of Active Dads), Khari Arnold(founder of Library Dads), and Ron Anthony (author, pastor, and thought leader) — for one of the most honest conversations about Black fatherhood, the father wound, and breaking generational cycles you'll find anywhere. What starts as a question about emotion becomes a full excavation: the emotional armor Black men inherit, what it cost them to become who they are, and what they're choosing to keep — or lay down — for the next generation. This is not a conversation about absent fathers. It's a conversation about what presence actually looks like, why "be strong" is incomplete advice, and how the men who look the strongest in the room are often the ones carrying the most. If you've ever searched for healing from childhood wounds, wondered what your father didn't teach you, or found yourself parenting from a place of fear instead of freedom — this one is for you. IN THIS EPISODE Healing the father wound: what emotion shows up first when you think about your dad's impact? The one thing each man inherited — good or bad — from his father What love looked like in Black households (provision, protection, presence) The real cost of becoming the man you are when nobody taught you how Breaking generational cycles: are you the dad you needed as a kid?
