## Resource

In this meaningful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with Dr. Allison Alford, researcher, author, and creator of Daughtering 101. Dr. Alford’s work shines a light on “daughtering,” the often overlooked role adult daughters play in building connection, sustaining family relationships, fostering love and trust, and navigating the emotional weight that can come with caring, showing up, and keeping peace within families. Her research and writing focus on the unique experiences of women, especially the parts of life that are rarely named but deeply felt. This conversation explores what it means to be an adult daughter today, how family roles shape identity, why women’s stories matter, and how bringing language to unseen responsibilities can create understanding, healing, and stronger relationships. Dr. Alford brings wisdom, warmth, and clarity to a topic that many women live every day but may not always have words for. Whether you are a daughter, a parent, a caregiver, or someone seeking healthier family connection, this episode offers insight, reflection, and a powerful reminder that the quiet work of love deserves to be seen.
