Ep 261 - Stefanos Sifandos | Facing the Wounds That Shape Our Relationships
About this episode
In this episode, we dive deep with Stefanos Sifandos into the hidden wounds and unconscious patterns that quietly shape the way we love and relate. From the absence of healthy rites of passage in modern culture to the unspoken impact of the mother wound, Stefanos unpacks how unresolved trauma, confusion about identity, and unexamined survival strategies keep so many of us cycling through pain in intimacy and partnership. Through raw honesty and lived experience, he reminds us that real transformation is not about quick fixes but a lifelong process of facing ourselves with courage, compassion, and integrity—ultimately allowing us to build relationships rooted in truth and growth.
