Diary of a Fatherless Daughter
Join me on the 1st of every month for a journey through absence, grief, and reconnection.
Welcome to Diary of a Fatherless Daughter, a monthly email series dedicated to exploring the unique challenges and emotions that come with growing up without a father. This space is for anyone who has felt the sting of absence, the ache of not feeling “good enough”, and the longing for connection - both with others and with yourself.
What you’ll find in the Diary:
When I created Diary of a Fatherless Daughter, I wanted it to feel like a safe space for you - a space where you can explore your thoughts, reflect on your experiences, and maybe even find a bit of comfort knowing you’re not alone.
Here’s what you can expect each month:
💌 Heartfelt stories straight from my own journey - I’m sharing the messy, the raw, and the real parts of growing up without a father, so you know you’re not the only one feeling this way.
🌱 Gentle tools and ideas to help you understand yourself better - No pressure, no expectations. These are small, manageable steps to help you explore what’s on your mind, at your own pace.
✨ A supportive space for self-discovery - This isn’t just another email in your inbox'; it’s like a little nudge that reminds you it’s okay to feel what you feel, and that your story matters.
You’ll also get access to special online workbooks I’ve created. These are like a gentle hand to guide you through thoughts and feelings you might not have shared with anyone else. They’re designed to help you uncover your truth, understand yourself more deeply, and feel a little less alone in the process.
I know how hard it can be to take that first step into self-reflection, especially if therapy feel a bit too scary right now. These workbooks are here to meet you exactly where you are - safe, at home, and in your own time.
The diary is my way of showing up for you, sharing what I’ve learned, and offering a space where we can talk this journey together.
Why this Matters
The absence of a father can leave a lifelong impact - on how we see ourselves, how we trust others, and how we show up in the world (speaking from experience). For many of us, these wounds run deep, showing up as a feeling of not being good enough (ouch) or struggling to understand why we weren’t chosen - by our dad’s and then subsequently other people.
This space isn’t about dwelling on pain but finding hope, healing, and connection. It’s about realising that your worth was never tied to someone else’s choices and that you can write your own story.
