Discover How to Heal from the Painstaking Attachment Trauma and Invisible Wound of Mother Hunger® in Just 8 Weeks
REAL Help for Adult Daughters Experiencing Mother Hunger®
This 8-Week Intense Psycho-Education Live Course Is for You If…
It feels like your mother is emotionally absent, even though she’s alive, and that absence leaves you feeling “motherless.”
You’ve struggled with early childhood attachment traumas that make healing feel out of reach.
You lost your mother at a young age and long for her guidance to navigate life.
Your relationship with your mother was fragmented or distant, and you want to learn what healthy attachment looks like.
You’ve worried about repeating unhealthy patterns with your own children and want to break the cycle.
You’ve struggled to give or receive love because it wasn’t something you learned to feel safe with.
You’re seeking tools to regulate your emotions and find stability in your relationships.
You lacked nurturing, protection, or guidance during your formative years and want to reclaim those missing pieces.
She Called It "Mother Hunger®"
Kelly McDaniel gave a name to this silent ache—a longing born from a loss of nurturing, protection, and guidance. This 8-week workshop focuses on helping you recover and heal these early attachment wounds.
Here is what you need to know about Mother Hunger®
“Good enough mothering” is rooted in three essential elements: nurturing, protection, and guidance. These are the cornerstones that allow us to feel safe, loved, and secure as we grow.
But what happens when one—or all—of these elements is missing?
For many, this absence leaves behind a quiet emptiness, an ache for care that was never given. Kelly McDaniel coined the term Mother Hunger® to describe this longing—a yearning that lingers even into adulthood, shaping how we love, connect, and see ourselves.
For adult daughters, the lack of nurturing, protection, or guidance can lead to challenges that ripple through every part of life. Some turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to fill the void left behind. Others struggle to give what they’ve never received—wondering, how do you build connection and love when those foundations were never there?
The Good News Is That Healing Is Possible
Attachment wounds can be mended. With understanding, compassion, and the right tools, you can begin to rewrite your story. This 8-week course provides a roadmap to help you:
Explore the roots of your Mother Hunger®.
Learn how to nurture and protect yourself in ways you may not have experienced.
Begin building healthy attachments and relationships that honor your worth.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting the ache—it means transforming it. And the journey starts here.

Who is teaching the course?

As a licensed trauma counselor, Angela specializes in working with women who’ve experienced sudden loss, attachment wounds, or generational trauma. From motherless daughters and orphans to parentless parents and survivors of gun violence, she brings a compassionate understanding to her work.
Angela’s journey has taken her across the globe. As an educator and executive director in Asia, she fostered identity, safety, and resilience in orphaned children. Her work continues today as a co-facilitator of Motherless Daughter Retreats with bestselling author Hope Edelman and as a Level 1 facilitator for Mother Hunger® certified by Kelly McDaniel.
Her practice combines training in EMDR, trauma therapy, and attachment, helping clients rewrite their stories and reclaim their strength.

For Angela, this course is more than education—it’s an act of service. It’s a way to offer women the tools and support they need to heal from the inside out, rebuilding the foundations of love and connection that were missing in their early years.
