GEM Daughters & The Daddyless Journey: Transforming Pain into Power with Dr. Doris Wesley

In celebration of International Women’s History Month 2025, this special episode of Mindset Mastery Moments features a deep, raw, and empowering conversation between Dr. Alisa Whyte and Dr. Doris Wesley, PhD—a Communication and Conflict Pracademic and the visionary force behind the GEM Daughters Network.

Dr. Alisa and Dr. Doris unpack the root causes of conflict, emphasizing that it’s not people who are the problem, but the clash between values and ideals. With clarity and compassion, they explore how healthy dialogue, open-mindedness, and self-awareness can transform conflict into connection.

Dr. Doris shares her personal story of growing up as a “daddyless daughter” and how that experience inspired the birth of GEM Daughters, a powerful sisterhood helping women heal and transform through a five-step framework. From successful family reunions to emotional breakthroughs, Dr. Doris reveals how communication and community can rewrite even the deepest wounds.

Dr. Alisa and Dr. Doris also explore the power of persistence, decision-making, and spiritual alignment in shaping one’s path. With heartfelt transparency, they discuss:

• The difference between values and ideals
• How storytelling shapes belief systems
• The impact of father-daughter relationships on adult identity
• Why self-love and authenticity are keys to lasting transformation
• How to maintain harmony through self-awareness and mindset alignment

Whether you're navigating your own healing journey or supporting others, this episode will leave you inspired to reclaim your story, deepen your self-awareness, and embrace the GEM within.
