MEET MADELINE
When people ask me what inspired me to write Girl Dad and build Girl Dad Network, the simple answer is: my incredible dad. The long answer is that on a winter evening of 2020, I felt an undeniable calling to help fathers transform their relationships with their daughters and simply could not ignore it. I started writing Girl Dad the next day.
My vision for Girl Dad Network is to create a platform that feels nostalgic, warm, and real. We emphasize putting down the screens, playing outside, and building genuine connections. The real goal is to build happy and healthy families and I believe it begins with the intentionality that you, the father, bring to the table.
In my free time, I’m committed to practicing what I believe in. I spend quality time with my husband and family, play golf and tennis, go for beach walks, and read the latest books and research on human connection, relationships, and the male vs. female brain.
Madeline grew up in Southern California with an incredible father, mother, and two younger sisters. She spent her childhood playing outside with her sisters, camping with her family, playing soccer and golf, and reading books. Today, her free time is spent the same way.
BACKGROUND
Madeline graduated from UCLA with a degree in Business Economics and began her professional career in finance. After two years, she realized that all of her favorite parts about her job had nothing to do with financial analysis, but instead with human connection. Madeline realized in college how truly rare and precious that deep connection was. She recognized a profound need for support in the father-daughter relationship, prompting her to write her Amazon Bestseller, Girl Dad.
EDUCATION
Madeline’s Amazon Bestseller, Girl Dad, led to fathers and fans of her book asking “What other resources do you have for dads?” She recognized the gap in support for Girl Dads and noted that there were no voices that offered the daughter’s perspective, so she built Girl Dad Network to change that.
THE NETWORK
WHY I DO THIS
My dad is my North Star - my guiding force that I know is always there, even when he physically isn’t. I want every girl to have a dad who is their North Star and I want every dad to know the kind of beautiful relationship that comes with earning that title.

A message to Girl Dads:
When I get an email or DM from a dad telling me how much I have strengthened his relationship with his daughter, it brings me such genuine fulfillment and joy. I am lit up by this work and feel in my heart that this is my true purpose.
My goal is to help someone every single day and ensure that the positive impact of Girl Dad Network is felt for generations.
With gratitude,
Madeline
