In this episode, Naomi shares the story of losing her father and the grief that followed, while exploring how his silence and emotional absence shaped her childhood. Raised in a cult where emotions were dismissed and questions discouraged, she learned to cope by shrinking her needs and hiding her pain. Her father, shaped by his own trauma, often disappeared emotionally and physically, leaving Naomi to process abandonment without support or language for what she was feeling.

Now a mother, Naomi reflects on how parenting helped her understand her parents with more compassion.

ABOUT THE HOST, NAOMI SPARKS:

Naomi Sparks is a mom, wife, healing coach, and a cult survivor. She grew up in a tightly controlled religious cult in Northern California and spent years disconnected from her true self. Her work now centers around helping others reclaim their voice, heal generational pain, and step into wholeness without apology.

QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:

“Compassion doesn't mean you excuse the harm. It means you stop carrying the weight of it alone.“

QUESTION TO THINK ABOUT:

“What if they were doing the best they could with what they had?”
