“Fathers, be your daughter’s first love and she’ll never settle for anything less.” – Unknown

My guest today is Madeline Anderson. Maddie is the author of new book, Girl Dad, which is the father’s guide to becoming your daughter's hero.

As a reluctant girl dad myself, I can now say it’s the most beautiful journey I’ve ever been on. That’s why I’ve brought Maddie on so she can share the insights from interviewing hundreds of dads for their biggest lessons, regrets, and ideas to thrive as a parent, especially as a proud girl dad.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about:

  • The best tips to help girl dads thrive
  • How to bring your children more into your daily life – without it interrupting your schedule
  • The biggest mistakes parents make, and
  • How to strengthen your family bonds right now.

Before we begin, the right bit of inspiration can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life, so if there’s a friend or loved one who needs to hear this episode or could use some help to Win the Day, share it with them right now.

Let’s WIN THE DAY with Madeline Anderson!
