Über diesen Titel

Estrangement: Turning Pain into Peace Podcast is hosted by me, Becky Kolb. I help Christian women navigating 💔estranged relationships with adult children and next generation family members.


You never thought you would be experiencing estrangement with a loved one and you are looking for support from someone who's been there. That's me.


Estrangement brings grief, guilt, shame, confusion and isolation. Women say they feel pressure to forgive or reconcile before they full understand what that means. And sometimes you may not be in a place mentally or spiritually to do that. I understand and felt similarly.

My estrangement story began with a divorce and remarriage and some decisions around that. The guilt and shame was overwhelming as most of my family didn't speak to me for several years.

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 met me where I was 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.

Not every relationship will reconcile or heal, but you can find peace even amid estrangement. And this podcast will offer help to reconnect with God, reclaim your identity in Him and live in freedom with peace and purpose.

I learned that you can't force reconciliation. Any attempt to change another person is fruitless. The only control you and I have is ourselves and my podcast and coaching focus is on WHOLENESS - creating space to feel grief, discover clarity around responsibility, establish healthy boundaries and gain a renewed sense of self and purpose so that you can live grounded.


I offer free no pressure, no obligation discovery calls to see if coaching is right for you. It's not a sales pitch. If that's something of interest, navigate to www.beckykolb.com/work-with-becky and let's have a conversation.

    56: Healing Brokenness
    Feb 19 2026

    Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangement

    Healing brokenness in an estranged relationship is a lengthy process. Today I’ll talk about three-steps that center around these attributes. Reconcile. Restore. Rebuild.

    You already know that reconciliation requires two parties and not everyone arrives at this decision simultaneously. Consequently, many women give up far too early.

    While one may not be ready right now, it doesn’t mean you can’t continue to pray and begin to work on your part. Brokenness brings many emotions to the forefront and working toward reconciliation takes time, commitment, and effort. Even if you are the only one working on it at the time.

    Whether you are in the midst of this process or just thinking about it, listen in today for concrete steps to heal your brokenness.

    Becky Kolb helps women with estranged relationships find peace and the ability to move forward from guilt & shame, rediscover God and what he says about you, develop boundaries and non-negotiables for healthy relationships. And, anything else that comes with estrangement. And the result is living your passion and purpose! Contact Becky at www.beckykolb.com/contact

    55: Transformation and Estrangement

    Transformation is a beautiful word. Changing something so that its appearance is completely different and noticeable. You may wonder what this has to be with estranged relationships but stay with me. It’s a foundational principle you won’t want to miss.

    We’ve recently relocated and the gardening beds were unsightly. Grass had grown up into the river rock; shoots were sprouting where they weren’t supposed to and it was evident that neglect had taken its toll.

    The gardener explained the process required to restore and transform the beds into a beautiful garden that we would enjoy. Painstaking was the word I used to describe this to my husband. But it made sense and it paralyses into the work that you and I grapple with to prepare our hearts for eventual reconciliation and restoration.

    Ready to do some gardening today? Listen in as I offer pivotal tips on loosening the soil in your heart.

    54: Hope When Your Child Walks Away

    Send me a text…what do struggle with most in estrangement

    It’s hard to have hope when your child walks away, but that is exactly where your strength lies. Without hope you’re lost. Thoughts go awry and that leads to a slippery slope you want to avoid.

    But it’s hard, right? When phone calls and text messages go unanswered. And they believe you are the enemy when your heart is breaking into with love for them.

    For me, estrangement lasted several years and more than once I lost hope. Furthermore, it seemed impossible that restoration would come. Everything was going against me. Until I realized something that turned it all around.

    Settle in with me today as I share that truth with you. Let’s get rolling with today’s episode.
