How to Stop Falling in Love With Potential | Shadé Ashani | TEDxEmbryRiddlePrescottWomen

Shade shares her research on how a father's presence in his daughters life impacts and shapes her relationship with other men later in her life, inspired by her own experiences. Shadé is an author, speaker, coach, and international philanthropist. She graduated from Columbia University and earned her Masters in Public Health from Tulane University. She interviewed hundreds of women ages 18-75 and found an absolute difference between girls who grew up with and without their fathers.She gained a profound understanding of the different ways women are wounded by their fathers and then go on to live as if those wounds are the truth. Shadé wrote a book called In Search of My Father about how healing her relationship with her father set her free to experience healthy love. Now she coaches women to heal the wounds their fathers left behind and speaks at colleges and conferences around the country. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
