Daddy Issues

from Clam Slam · host Adrianne Creek

I’m letting off a little steam in this one. I unravel what it’s like to straddle love and distance with your own parents - when belief, expectation, and silence get tangled up in identity. I dive into memories and dreams that still sting, wrestle with what it means to set boundaries, and unpack that unrelenting ache of feeling unchosen as a daughter. Scattered through the episode are clips from Elemental - echoing the pain of disappointing a parent by living the life you choose, and the struggle of having a fiery disposition in a world that often asks you to cool down. I also share what’s grounding me: journaling in the dark, tarot spreads with sharp edges, leaning on the few safe souls who really see me. This isn’t a finished story - it’s permission to feel, to name, and to light your own way through the fog. If you’ve ever felt like love was conditional, this one’s for you.
