Let’s Talk: Conversation Starters for Dads and Daughters
Are You Ready for a Game-Changing Dad-Daughter Book?
If you’re a dad of a daughter who has ever found yourself trying to figure out how to connect with your daughter at a deeper level, Let’s Talk is for you.
I realize that as women we often leave our dads wondering how to keep up with all our words and emotions. Yet I’ve discovered that when fathers have scripts in their hands with the exact words to say to engage their daughters conversationally, they lead with more confidence and competence. The bottom line is that when daughters and dads open their mouths, their hearts open, and that’s when the bond between them grows stronger and deeper.
I wrote this book to equip you, dad, to:
Decode your daughter with more proficiency and insight (since I’m a woman, I’m sharing with you some insider trader secrets that I believe will help you understand her better, especially if she doesn’t know how to tell you herself)
Be inspired by hearing stories of other dads and daughters who have been in your shoes and are now closer than ever
Give you scripts that tell you exactly what to say to have more meaningful conversations with your daughter about everything and anything
Be the hero you want to be and that your daughter needs you to be!
Let today be the day you ask your daughter deeper questions to let her know that what she has to say matters to you, all the while being aware that we girls figure things out by talking. And trust grows with talking. And love deepens with talking. It all starts with talking.
Give your daughter the gift of your presence as you encourage her to start talking as you validate and listen.
So let the talking begin!
Dad, here's What I Really Need from you
I realize that some of you may wonder why I’m speaking to men about this issue rather than letting men cover that base, man to man. The short answer is that as a girl (more specifically, a “Venusian”—which is a phrase I am using based on the book Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus) I am seeking to help you decode your daughter. I know a bit about what life is like on “our planet” and I want to teach you some of the secrets of how we as women are wired.
I know that your daughter didn’t come with a playbook, but I'm going to help you write one. With a listening ear, a heart turned towards your daughter, and a few tools in your toolbox, you’ll succeed in being the best dad you can be.
In the video below, I'll give you a brief overview of the book, and tell you why I believe it's a must-have for any father wanting to become an even more dialed-in dad.

It is my honor as the only female contributing author among this esteemed group of fathering experts to provide supportive strategies for men’s ministry leaders.
I had the privilege of writing a chapter in Father's Say along side Kathy Lee Gifford, Kevin Sorbo, and Eric Metaxas. Sharing this story about my dad has helped me appreciate the lesson he taught in a whole new way.
