The Estranged Mom Coach™ | Estrangement, Prodigals, Estranged Parent, Biblical Emotional Healing

In this episode of The Estranged Mom Coach™, I want to talk to the estranged mothers who are deep feelers. The ones who wear their heart on their sleeve, who feel things so deeply it sometimes aches, who love fiercely and sometimes feel like they’re a little too much.  . If what I just said describes you, you might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). And that’s not a flaw. It’s one of the amazing...

Dear estranged mother… have you been carrying the weight of disappointment when your estranged child does things you would never do to your mom? Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking, “If they loved me, they’d never do this - or they’d have done such and such if they cared.”  .  You have an idea of what they should be doing, and every time they don’t, it delivers chronic disappointment to your alr...

You think about your estranged adult child often. You’ve cried, prayed, questioned yourself and wondered if they will ever come back. It can feel like being an estranged mother consumes your identity. But what if, even for a little while, we shift the focus? What if God is gently calling you to remember the parts of your life that aren’t about the estrangement, or being an estranged mother? . In t...

You’ve read the family estrangement books, listened to the estrangement podcasts and taken a hard look in the mirror - You know that reconciliation will require some deep inner work on your part. . And you’re willing. You want to heal. You want to feel better, love better… be better. You long for your estranged child to be back in your life. . But if you’re honest, there’s also a part of you that...

In the family estrangement space, you’ve probably heard it: “Just let them.” Let them walk away. Let them misjudge you. Let them stay gone. . And maybe for a minute, it gave you a sense of relief. A little space to breathe. But if you’re honest? That ache for your child didn’t go anywhere. . This episode isn’t a takedown of boundaries or a commentary against  free will. But The "let them" movement...

The world that wants to offer surface-level solutions to the family estrangement from your child, but you need God in the center of your answer.  . You know estrangement is more than meets the eye. You know you need to be engaging in Spiritual warfare, and you do pray about the estrangement. Though sometimes you wonder “how” to pray for this situation.  . In this episode, I’m talking to you about...

There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that comes when you find yourself estranged from your son… not because of something you said, not because of some unforgivable moment, but because a toxic daughter-in-law has strategically driven a wedge between you. You worry that you’ll never get your estranged son back in your life as long as your daughter in law has a say in the matter. And if you have g...

We focus a lot on feelings—especially when you’re estranged from your child. The sadness. The anger. The confusion. The ache of missing them. And all of it matters. All of it is real. . But in this episode, I’m sharing a truthbomb—spoken in love—that might turn your perspective inside out… in the best possible way. Because while feelings are part of the story, they’re not the main character. . The...

You miss your estranged daughter or son, and you long to connect with them. But the silence and rejection can feel unbearable sometimes. When that ache rises, it whispers: Just do something. Say something. Reach out. DO. SOMETHING.  . Doing nothing feels like consenting to lose your child forever. And that is definitely not what you want. But what if reacting in the moment costs you the very thing...

In this episode of The Estranged Mom Coach™, we’re talking about anger. That sharp, hot ache that rises up when your child won’t speak to you… when Holidays pass with no invitation, no call, no trace of the relationship you thought you had before your son or daughter went no contact. . You love your estranged child. That’s never been in question. But sometimes, behind the heartbreak, there’s this...

As Christians, we are called to handle family estrangement differently than the world handles it. Mainstream culture and internet media have put forward an image of the estranged mother that depicts you as someone who has lost her ability to mother her adult child, has no relationship with the child who goes no contact and has no power in the situation. This might seem true to you at first glance....

Hey, friend. If your heart feels heavy today… if being an estranged mother has left you questioning your worth or spinning in grief, anger or despair, I want you to know: you are not alone. You are in process. And you are being invited into healing that runs deeper than surface-level advice. . In this episode of The Estranged Mom Coach™, let’s talk about something we don’t always notice right away...

In the estrangement and reconciliation space, people talk about family therapy, estrangement coaching, your adult child’s need to do their inner work, your need to learn a new way of communicating. It all matters, but there’s something I don’t hear many people talking about… And unless you shift this one important thing, all of the coaching, therapy and communication tools will not get you into a...

It’s 100% normal to feel anger when your son or daughter goes no contact with you. But it’s when the anger takes root that it blocks you from the very things that would help you feel better and end the estrangement from your adult child. In this episode of The Estranged Mom Coach™, I’m talking to you about 5 specific ways anger blocks you. I’ll also give you a prayer to help break the chains of an...

When I learned that 2 of my children stopped believing in Jesus, I was devastated. Even though we mourn the relationship when we become estranged, that is not the biggest blow when you’re estranged from a prodigal. The biggest blow is about their relationship with Jesus. As a Christian mother, your highest hope for your child is that they make it to Heaven. When faced with them turning from the Ch...

One of the most powerful ways to accomplish reconciliation with your estranged child is to learn what other estranged mothers who reconciled have done to get there. Likewise, knowing what they do NOT do is highly valuable for repairing the relationship with your child who went no contact. In this episode of The Estranged Mom Coach™, I’m giving you an inside view of 4 things that successfully recon...

3 am. Again. Waking up in the middle of the night, still feeling like it’s surreal that you are an estranged mother, and wondering what caused your son or daughter to go no contact. Scrutinizing every mistake you think you made as a parent, and wishing you at least knew… why. It’s bad enough to feel abandoned by your child, someone you thought would never stop talking to you. But to not even know...

Begging my estranged child for another chance didn’t work. Yelling and trying to exert my authority as a parent didn’t work either. Reminding her of the good times we had also didn’t get my estranged daughter to change her mind. I tried so many things to fix things with my formerly estranged daughter, and it only made things worse. Welcome to The Estranged Mom Coach™ podcast. I’m Jenny Good, Certi...
