Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Daughtered Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Susan Schwartz, a Jungian analyst, clinical psychologist, and author of The Absent Father Effect on Daughters. With decades of experience working with women across all stages of life, Dr. Schwartz has seen firsthand how a father’s emotional presence — or absence — can shape a daughter’s identity, confidence, and relationships for years to come.In this conversation we explore:• Why daughters feel emotional absence so deeply• The difference between being home and being truly present• How fathers influence their daughters’ self-worth and development• Why many fathers were never taught emotional connection themselves• The powerful role awareness plays in breaking generational patternsOne of the most powerful ideas discussed is that fathers influence their daughters far more than they realize — even through subtle emotional signals and unspoken expectations.This conversation isn’t about guilt... It’s about awareness.Because when fathers become more intentional with their presence, they have the power to change not only their daughters’ lives — but the generations that follow.Dr. Schwartz's WorkSusan's Instagram 00:00 Father Absence Crisis01:26 Podcast Welcome02:23 Why Fathers Matter03:29 Guest Background05:47 Daughter Impact09:13 Nature Versus Nurture11:02 Pregnancy Influence14:00 Single Mother Context15:50 Filling The Void18:36 Emotional Absence19:18 Host Personal Reflection20:46 Emotional Honesty as Dads21:32 Fear of Messing Up23:31 Raising Girls vs Boys25:21 Beyond Parenting Recipes26:49 Fathers Thoughts Shape Daughters29:01 Know Your Daughter Deeply31:25 Dialogue Builds Connection34:04 How to Be Present36:47 Books Resources and FarewellGuest Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the guests.
