    71: Can I Find Peace Even Amid Estrangement?

    Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangement Peace even in estrangement is attainable although women believe otherwise. What about you? Do you feel that your estranged relationship must be reconciled before you can have peace? I did.  Obsessing over words spoken, actions taken and how a loved one could choose rejection was nonstop. You wonder if you’ll ever be normal again. I laugh about this now because what really is normal?   You see, women believe they are the only one going through this painfully emotional time and we compare our abnormal to the perceived normal in others.  Wherever you are, sit with me a few minutes and I’ll share how you can build a meaningful life and discover peace – even before the relationship heals.  Find the full transcript for this episode plus resources for women at Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace at beckykolb.com/71.

    70: The Heaviness of Why in Estrangement

    Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangement The heaviness of why in an estranged relationship with a loved one is unbearable at times. As I continue with the theme of changing your thoughts and changing your life, let’s explore how to lessen the weight of why.  Why is the cry of the heart of a mother who is estranged from a son or daughter that often results in loss of a relationship with grandkids. I know a woman who has been estranged from her daughter and grandkids for years.   She is a Christian, but that doesn’t exempt her from the pain she carries in her heart. The heaviness of why lingers day after day. But she has learned to let go of why and turn her heart in another direction. Settle in with me today and I’ll share the story.  Find the full transcript for this episode plus resources for women at Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace at beckykolb.com/70.

    69: What God Thinks Toward You

    Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangement Continuing with the estrangement theme - Change your thoughts and change your life. Do you wonder what God thinks of you? That very thought can bring immense peace or terrorizing fear. At the height of my chaotic sinful life, I was certain God was waiting for an opportune time to strike me down. Estrangement compounded the feeling that He couldn’t love me.  You may be wondering what God thinks toward you in an estranged relationship with a son, daughter, or close family member. When the child you love, nursed, and cared for no longer wants a relationship, you wonder about those things they say to you and others.  Are you such a terrible person? If they think so, does God? If you’re in need of some encouragement today, settle in and listen to some great news!  Find the full transcript for this episode plus resources for women at Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace at beckykolb.com/69.

    68: Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life

    Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangement Change your thoughts and your life will change. How it changes depends on how you think. Now, this is not the power of positive thinking message. But there is truth to how our thoughts affect our life – either positively or negatively.  Admittedly, I am a skeptic when people start talking about an attitude of gratitude. Those Pollyanna women who are always in a good mood, see the best in others and refuse to get in the dirt when they are down. In fact, with these women, you almost never know that they are struggling.  Estranged relationships create a breeding ground for negative thinking as we’ve discussed before. I’ll share with you today how if you want to change your life, then you’ll need to change your thoughts. Let’s roll.  Find the full transcript for this episode plus resources for women at Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace at beckykolb.com/68.

    67: Mother's Day and Estrangement

    Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangement Estrangement and Mother’s Day are two attributes that are at odds with one another. And when you are estranged from a son or daughter, it’s a trigger that can send you spiraling into a dark place.  As I’ve talked with some mom’s they’ve expressed that they just want the day to end so they can get on with life. Women work themselves into a tizzy (that’s an expression I heard often growing up) creating anxiety and stress.  Although reconnected with my kids now, I remember several Mother’s Day blues where sadness overwhelmed me. Estranged not only from my kids, but also my mother. My value as a person was at question in my mind. Consequently, it’s a day that I too wanted to pass quickly.  Today I’ll share how you can turn this day into a celebration rather than mourning.  Find the full transcript for this episode plus resources for women at Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace at beckykolb.com/67.
