For years, the cares of life kept my faith on the back burner…until some wake-up calls jolted me out of my spiritual slumber! Between the end of my first marriage, the loss of close friendships, seasons of estrangement from my children, and a difficult career transition, I felt disillusioned and defeated. These trials were bigger than anything I had faced before—and too heavy to carry alone. I questioned why God was allowing this to happen, worried instead of prayed, and felt heartbroken. I wanted to trust God, but I didn’t know how to pray through the pain. I tried fixing everything on my own…and then I cried and crashed and broke.  That’s when the Holy Spirit gently woke me up. I realized that I didn’t know how to pray effectively for myself —or for my adult children. As I quieted the noise and made space to listen, God began healing my heart from the inside out. I discovered I was in a spiritual battle–and God’s promises became the anchor my faith desperately needed.  Learning to trust God with my strained relationships wasn’t easy, but it transformed me. The Lord opened my eyes, and I traded my pajamas for spiritual armor. As it dawned on me that faith was the only way through my struggles, I learned how to pray, to trust God’s timing, and to rest in His peace—even when circumstances didn’t change. This new way of living ignited my spiritual growth and snoozed the noise so I could tune into God’s presence consistently. What I learned changed my life, and now I’m here to walk with you. I can’t promise that God will restore every relationship. But I know this: You are not meant to live stuck in worry or heartbreak. As you pray for your prodigals and trust God with your estranged relationships, He will restore your hope, strengthen your faith, and bring peace to your heart. This show delivers faith-filled teaching and practical takeaways to help you awaken your faith in Jesus, move from worry to trusting God, and from brokenness to healing. Wake up to the peace and wholeness you’ve been longing for. Jump out of bed, turn off your alarm clock, and make yourself a strong latte. It’s time to let the Son shine in your life!

    Estrangement brings a kind of grief that’s hard to explain—and even harder to carry. When your estranged child is still alive but no longer present in your life, or your prodigal is hard to reach, the loss can feel invisible, unresolved, and deeply lonely.

If you’ve been carrying guilt or shame, questioning yourself, or wondering how long this pain will last, this conversation will meet you gently right where you are. You’ll learn: Why estrangement creates a unique kind of grief and why it matters What Scripture says about reconciliation  Why healing your heart doesn’t mean giving up on reconciliation or your prodigal What it looks like to move forward while still loving your estranged child If you’re longing to pray without heaviness, to breathe again, and to rediscover hope while walking through estrangement, this episode will remind you that your grief matters, your faith is not broken, and God is still near. 🎧 Listen now and take the first step toward healing your heart while continuing to trust God with what you cannot control.

    21 | 3 Limiting Mindsets That Keep Estranged Moms From Having Peace — and How to Break Free

    In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet, limiting mindsets that can keep you stuck in pain—especially if you’re walking through estrangement with your adult child or concerned about your prodigal child. If you’re a Christian woman who feels emotionally exhausted, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward, this conversation will help you recognize what may be limiting your healing.  Together, we’ll explore the subtle thought patterns that quietly interfere with your faith and inner peace. You’ll learn how to recognize the beliefs that often take root in an estranged mother’s heart—and how to take those thoughts captive and reframe discouragement through the truth of Scripture. I’ll share mindset shifts to help you stay grounded in faith while navigating the heartbreak of estrangement and your prodigal’s choices.  Renew your mind, reconnect with God’s promises, and begin trusting God deeply as you pray for your estranged or prodigal adult children. The Lord is still at work—and He can bring you peace in God and soul healing—even in the hardest seasons. 🎧 Be sure to “follow” the podcast so you don’t miss future episodes!
