163 | Connecting With Your Daughter’s Heart With Dr. Michelle Watson Canfield
Description
Do you have daughters?
When my first daughter was two years old, remember learning about the role I played in her life and it woke me up to the important responsibility that I have been her dad. And now the dad of two daughters and 10 years into this journey, I am still learning and making mistakes. But this is how we learn, we grow and improve.
The measure of the men she goes into the world to find will be compared to the kind of man I was to them.
Michelle Watson Canfield, PhD, LPC, is a national speaker, author, licensed professional counselor of 27 years, and founder of The Abba Project, a nine-month group forum for dads whose daughters are in their teens and 20’s.
She writes guest articles regularly for journals and magazines (online and print), as well as her own bi-monthly Dad-Daughter Friday Blog, and has been interviewed on numerous radio and television programs. Her best-selling book, Dad, Here’s What I Really Need From You: A Guide for Connecting With Your Daughter’s Heart, is followed by her most recent field guide for men, Let’s Talk: Conversation Starters for Dads and Daughters (both available on Audible).
She has also written contributing chapters in Fathers Say and How to Disciple Men. Dr. Michelle is the radio/podcast host of The Dad Whisperer and The Dad Whisperer Podcast, which is available on her website and Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
