In this powerful episode, Elle tackles the complex topic of developing healthy self-esteem and boundaries for women who grew up without a positive father figure. She introduces the concept of the "Home Depot Dad" - an archetype of the supportive, present, and loving father who treats his daughter like a princess and sets high standards for how she should be treated. Elle challenges the misogynistic notion of "fatherless behavior" and emphasizes that women are not responsible for the actions of absent fathers. Through her signature "spoiled girlie philosophy," she explains how women can reclaim their worth and value regardless of their upbringing. The episode concludes with an empowering message about women's ability to shape the future by recognizing their inherent worth.
