Breaking 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 generational
• Why fathers must remove shame and talk about the “elephant in the room”
• The danger of silence, enabling, and emotional isolation
• Why vulnerability is one of the strongest things a dad can model
• How healing yourself changes your daughter’s future
• Why connection is the true opposite of addiction

If you’re a dad carrying pain, patterns, or habits you know need to stop with you—this episode is for you.
