Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace

Auteur(s): Becky Kolb Estrangement and Relationship Coach
  • Résumé

  • Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace Podcast is hosted by me, Becky Kolb. I help women with 💔estranged relationships. You may be estranged from a child, sibling or other family member and know the emotional pain. Estrangement is often called the silent epidemic because people bury their emotional pain deep inside. It's difficult to talk about and you don't want to burden your friends with your sad story.


    And you may feel guilt and shame like I did and that just exacerbates the issue. You wonder if 🙏God listens to you anymore. How do you live peacefully when a loved one no longer wants a relationship? You simply want mental peace. That’s what this podcast is all about.

    My estrangement came in two instances. As an infant when my biological father left me and my mother and later in life when I divorced and gave up an adopted daughter. And then post-divorce, my ex-husband was killed in a one car rollover and I was blamed. Wrought with guilt and shame, the estrangement lasted 7 years. My son and I have reconciled and now have a good relationship. My adopted daughter and I have reconciled as well. God has brought many blessings of love and forgiveness.

    Growing up in a Christian family, I struggled with some of the decisions I made and even more so with family who judged and rejected me. I felt God was judging me and had also abandoned me. But it was during that estrangement that God pursued me and overwhelmingly poured out his 💖love and mercy and forgiveness.

    The God I thought rejected me was standing with arms wide open waiting for me to turn around. Consequences from some of my decisions lingered but his ❤️love and forgiveness carried me through. It was a relationship God wanted with me. Not religion. It was life changing. And it's what brought about reconciliation and restoration of my family. Relationships today that are 💪stronger than ever before.

    I felt a strong sense or 🗣️call to share my story and help women in estrangement. God seemed to be impressing upon me that I had suffered guilt, shame and estrangement and so do others. He wanted me to share how he helped me through it and how he could help others like you too.

    My own story of estrangement is steeped in my 🙏faith and the amazing things God did for me and my family as we reconciled. I share that story in 🎧podcasts and blogs, but it isn't something I push on anyone. I coach people with other faith beliefs too and have a deep respect for everyone's decision and right to religious freedom.

  • 32: All Things are Possible with God

    All things are possible with God scripture says. But do you believe it? Estrangement causes you to doubt that promise because you see no hope. Every effort you make seems fruitless. Day after day wears on with no resolution.

    Hope is something everyone desires, and it often seems elusive. Consequently, you lower your expectations and give it up. Doing so seems easier than the constant disappointment you experience.

    I understand that cycle and today’s message is intended to encourage you to reclaim God’s promise that he can in fact do all things no matter how impossible it may seem to you. Let’s jump in with both feet!
