Grief and sadness is merely love with no place to go - VOTB

In this Voice of the Broken episode on the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris Burkett reads a powerful listener update about healing the father wound, surviving childhood abuse, and breaking generational cycles. You’ll hear a raw story of parental alienation, self worth collapsing under lies, then a decade later, reconnection, forgiveness, grief, and the moment every boy craves, “I’m proud of you.” Chris weaves in his own experience, why psychological warfare hits different than bruises, and why civil co parenting matters if you don’t want to quietly sabotage your child’s identity, confidence, and future relationships.

Expect real talk on how men rebuild themselves when they’ve been trained to believe they aren’t enough, plus practical tools that actually move the needle, journaling, community, honest accountability, and learning to give grief a place to go instead of letting it rot into anger. The episode also touches on the role of plant medicine experiences for perspective shifts, why being a stepdad can be deeply meaningful, and how to stop begging for love by becoming a man who can carry it, receive it, and aim it with intention. If you’re dealing with toxic parents, estranged family, divorce fallout, depression, shame, or you’re trying to become the one who ends the cycle for your kids, this one will land.
