What happens when you spend your whole life wondering why someone didn’t choose you?
In this episode of the Everyday Truths Podcast, Sherri sits down with Tiff for a deeply vulnerable conversation about fatherlessness, rejection, identity, and healing.
As part of the Letters to Me series, Tiff shares what it was like growing up without a relationship with her father—and how that absence quietly shaped the way she viewed herself, relationships, belonging, and even God.

- Growing up without a father
- The emotional impact of rejection
- Looking for belonging in relationships
- Healing childhood wounds
- Learning to receive love
- God’s faithfulness through every season

What is Everyday Truths?
Everyday Truths is where honest faith meets real life.
Hosted by Sherri Richard, this podcast is all about living out what you believe—in the middle of laundry piles, unexpected detours, and seasons that don’t look anything like you planned.
You won’t find polished sermons or Pinterest-perfect advice here. Instead, you’ll get vulnerable conversations, laugh-out-loud moments, and practical encouragement to follow Jesus in the everyday, ordinary, beautifully messy parts of life.
From candid solo episodes to heartfelt guest stories, Everyday Truths is a reminder that God meets us right where we are—not where we think we should be.
Pull up a chair. Bring your coffee. And let’s talk about faith for real life.
