Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace Podcast is hosted by me, Becky Kolb, Certified Life Coach specializing in estrangement and relational loss. This podcast is for Christian women who are estranged from a son, daughter or close loved one and who long for wholeness. Your heart is broken. You flip between guilt, shame and feelings of unworthiness. Conversations between you replay in your head as you wonder if it was your fault or what you might have done differently.  Anger and resentment are constant emotions as you wonder how this could happen to you. You feel distant from God and wonder if He even hears your prayers anymore. You aren’t sure how to pray or if there is a right or wrong way. I’ve been there and felt all of this. You are not alone.  And that’s where I come in. As one who has experienced estrangement on several levels, I get you. I understand the grief and heaviness that you feel. You aren’t who your child or others may say you are. Guilt and shame keep you locked in a mental prison. And I will help you unlock the prison door and find wholeness again. You long for peace. As your coach, I will help you:      Heal from the crippling effects of guilt and shame.      Reconnect with God and find joy again.      Learn the process of forgiveness - what it is and isn’t.      Build a meaningful life amid the estrangement.      Navigate difficult holidays.      Identify triggers and establish healthy God honoring boundaries.      Let go of the outcome and trust God with your loved one.      Discover lasting peace.

    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.
