How Fathers Can Break Generational Trauma Before It Reaches Their Daughters w/ Jennifer Chase

Send us Fan MailBreaking generational trauma as a father starts with the courage to face what you’ve been avoiding.In this deeply honest episode of The Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with Jennifer Chase, founder of Rise Addiction Life Coaching, whose story spans generations of trauma, addiction, healing, and family restoration. Jennifer opens up about growing up in a home marked by alcoholism and abuse, her own battle with opioid addiction after brain surgery, and the heartbreaking moment she realized addiction had impacted her son as well. Together, she and Oscar unpack what fathers need to understand about the hidden ways pain, silence, enabling, and unspoken family wounds get passed down. This conversation is ultimately about courage—the courage to face the “ball of yarn” of unresolved pain, choose discomfort over denial, and model healing, vulnerability, and connection for our children.In this episode:How addiction and trauma become generationalWhy fathers must remove shame and talk about the “elephant in the room”The danger of silence, enabling, and emotional isolationWhy vulnerability is one of the strongest things a dad can modelHow healing yourself changes your daughter’s futureWhy connection is the true opposite of addictionIf you’re a dad carrying pain, patterns, or habits you know need to stop with you—this episode is for you.Rise Addiction Life Coaching🎧 Listen in and ask yourself: What cycle ends with me?00:00 Fear Shame And Courage00:59 Podcast Welcome And Guest03:19 Jennifer Family Addiction Roots05:08 Brain Tumor To Opiates06:59 Enabling And Medical Legitimacy08:19 How Dependence Sneaks In10:50 Opiates As Emotional Relief13:43 Comfort Is A Slow Death16:46 Generational Trauma Ball Of Yarn21:25 What Dads Must Do Now26:35 Wishing For Dad Healing28:01 What Dad Could Have Done30:12 Hospital Confrontation And Denial31:16 Name the Elephant32:14 Shame-Free Family Healing33:52 Spotting Early Signs36:38 Parenting Pendulum Swing39:16 Grace Over Perfection43:21 Choosing Courage to Grow48:54 Find Your People52:11 Modeling Vulnerability55:11 Coaching and Resources57:53 Closing and Next StepsGuest Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the guests.
