If you, or someone you know, has issues with feeling abandoned, rejected or in some way emotionally wounded or estranged from one of your parents, or if you are a single parent and your child does not have a healthy relationship with his/her other parent, this episode is for you.
My guest today is Rachel Isabella who is a forgiveness coach specializing in helping "fatherless daughters". As a fatherless daughter herself, Rachel now helps other fatherless daughters heal their heart wounds, forgive, let go and create wonderful lives out of their pain rather than making poor decisions and life choices because of it. She believes forgiveness is fundamental in order to live a healthy, happy, peaceful life (and I agree!).
Rachel defines "fatherless daughters" as someone who's:
1. Father physically abandoned them
2. Father was physically absent
3. Father was emotionally absent
4. Father died
5. Mother does not know who the father was
We learn that there is a specific and deep emotional wound of unworthiness in fatherless daughters that can manifest in many ways including promiscuity, neediness, emotional shut down/unavailability, lack of intimacy, relationship issues, abandonment/attachment issues, addictions and more.
Most importantly, we talk about how to heal and move on to reclaim your life with a practical discussion on boundary setting, 6 reasons you should forgive and advice for single mom's on how you can fill in the holes left from an absent male figure in your child's life.
Enjoy and please share with someone you love if you think will help them!:)
