The Fatherhood Movement Rooted in Presence & Purpose

Fatherhood Isn't Just a Role - It's a Legacy

Focused Fatherhood equips dads and agencies with the tools to build intentional, emotionally rich #girldad relationships that last a lifetime.

MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Hey, I'm Jillette!

I started this work because I understand how impactful my father was in shaping the strong, caring, confident woman I am today. He wasn’t perfect—none of us are. But he was present. In moments that mattered, he showed up. He stayed when it got hard. He listened when I didn’t have the words. That presence wrapped me in emotional safety. It gave me space to grow and the permission to be myself, fully and fearlessly.

My dad didn’t try to be everything. He was simply solid when I needed somewhere to land. That gentle strength paired with my mother’s nurturing created the kind of emotional balance that helped me trust myself. That’s the gift I see in fathers who choose to show up—it’s their steadiness that helps shape her courage.

Focused Fatherhood is about more than parenting tips—it’s about teaching fathers how to create emotional safety and build soulful bonds with their daughters. Through thoughtful guidance, practical tools, and heartfelt reflection, we help fathers become the steady presence that shapes her sense of self, her confidence, and her courage. This isn’t just parenting—it’s legacy work. It’s presence. It’s emotional safety. It’s the quiet magic that shapes who she’ll become.

Why I Do This Work:

Because my father showed me what presence feels like—and that steady love gave me the strength to become the woman I am today.

Because my son is now walking the path of fatherhood, and I want him to know that emotional safety is the greatest gift he can offer her.

Because my granddaughter deserves to grow up with a legacy of love, where connection is intentional and courage blooms at home.
