Healing fatherless daughters

The term 'Daddy issues' is thrown around lightly but it really does have a seriously negative impact on your romantic relationships.

My guest Danielle Robins, who is a certified coach and the founder of Be You Unlimited, works specifically with women who are experiencing a father wound.That includes any woman who has grown up with an absent or available / unattached father and experiencing what is called 'the fatherless daughter syndrome'.

Her passion to work and specialise in this area was driven from her own personal wounds that needed healing - Danni grew up with with a physical father who was emotionally unavailable, abusive, dysfunctional and now absent.

We discuss how the fatherless daughter syndrome can show up with a full range of emotions and characteristics like low self worth, low confidence, trust issues, anger, resentment, unhealthy boundaries, promiscuity, unhealthy drive to succeed or toxic relationships. Danielle transforms the pain from the past into a gift in the present and coaches women to build healthy boundaries at home and at work and become unlimited. 

Gaining more confidence is something we can all do, so developing more awareness about our childhood wounds is the best place to start.
