This guide is for Alpha Dads who are ready to take an active role in shaping their daughters’ futures—not just hoping they’ll figure things out but ensuring they are equipped to make the best decisions. It is also for daughters who want to understand their fathers better, see the value in strong masculine guidance, and learn how to identify and select a well-balanced Alpha Male rather than falling for weak, toxic, or manipulative men. And for mothers, this book offers insight into the struggles fathers face when trying to balance strength, leadership, and guidance while raising strong daughters in a society that often discourages masculine influence in parenting.

I’m not claiming to be an expert in raising children in the academic, clinical, or theoretical sense. I don’t have a Ph.D. in child psychology, nor am I some parenting guru who preaches from a podium about the perfect way to raise kids. Instead, I’m an expert in the real-world experience of raising daughters, because I’ve lived it—and survived it. I’ve witnessed firsthand the unique challenges, struggles, and triumphs of raising strong, independent girls.

Written by Kelly Coughlin, CPA and CEO of EverydayCPA Inc., I didn’t set out to be an expert in raising daughters. I became one the hard way—through trial, error, and more than a few battles along the way. I come from a large Irish Catholic family—seven siblings in total. I had two older sisters, two younger sisters, and later in life, I found myself raising four daughters—three of whom were triplets. If that doesn't make me qualified to write this book, I don't know what does.
