Mother loss comes in many forms: cancer, suicide, illness, murder, accidents. And while many women still have their mothers, they have lost them to abandonment, addiction, memory malfunction, mental illness and more. 

Kelly McDaniel is an author and clinician supporting women on the journey toward relational wholeness. 

In her first book, Ready to Heal, she addresses cultural double standards and family wounds that set women up for addictive relationship habits.

Her second book, Mother Hunger, is the culmination of 30 years of research, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of mothering myths. Mother Hunger provides women a name for the misunderstood root of poor eating patterns, chronic relationship disappointment, and distorted self image.

In Mother Hunger what Kelly does is validate the experience of mother loss by giving a poignant name to a phenomenon that many will know very well and offer an elegant and useful framework for healing. 

In short, this is a conversation about childhood attachment injuries and their lasting impact. Kelly destigmatized the shame that comes with being under-mothered and offers a healing path with powerful tools that include lifestyle changes and therapeutic interventions.
