    Interview with Dr. Lacrecia Dangerfield

    Send a text Navigating loss requires a holistic approach to address all in our life that seems to be out of order. It affects us emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. This episode features Dr. Lacrecia Dangerfield being interviewed by our Executive Director, Danyetta Najoli. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Mental Health Service Provider (MHSP), and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), she carries a heart for women navigating loss, identity, and purpose.   Much of Dr. Dangerfield’s practice aligns with the work of the Motherless Daughters Ministry. Her work centers on creating safe places for healing, restoration, and empowered living. Be encouraged as she discusses pathways to wholeness.                                                         Resources  Podcast features Dr. Lacrecia Dangerfield:               https://www.drdangerfield.com/  Ways to support MDM financially: https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/giving/  Interested in coaching?

    A Second Chance

    Send us a text What happens when a second chance at having the family you always wanted falls apart? A motherless daughter describes her experience of losing that dream after the passing of her beloved mother-in-law, after dealing with the absence of nurturing from a narcissistic mother. She talks about the struggle to connect with others and rebuild after opening herself up to love and what she learned about God’s presence and grace.  As we begin 2026, the Motherless Daughters Ministry looks forward to serving you with more program offerings designed to encourage, inform, and support you in healing from the impact of loss.                                                              Resources Ministry offerings:                https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/services/ Podcast Episode highlights a Motherless Daughters Ministry blog post:  https://www.motherlessdaughtersministry.com/2022/07/27/a-second-chance/  Motherless Daughters Ministry is a 501(c) (3) non-profit that depends on the generous support of donations from listeners like you.  To donate or sign up for our newsletter and more resources, visit our website at www.motherlessdaughtesministry.com   Support the show Thanks for listening!

    Offering Condolences Over the Holiday

    Send us a text Navigating the holidays as a motherless daughter can be a mix of emotions. There’s an expectation of a Norman Rockwell-style family celebration that just doesn’t live up to expectations for so many grieving a loss or dealing with a strained relationship.
