Episode 13: Navigating Estrangement: A Journey of Heartbreak and Hope - Part 1

In Episode 13 of Motherhood and the Messy Middle, Robin and Nicole hold nothing back in this deeply personal conversation on estrangement between a mother and child. Nicole shares her own story of being cut off from her oldest daughter, the emotional unraveling that followed, and how identity, faith, and motherhood intersect in the ache of disconnection.

They explore what estrangement really means, the invisible grief it brings, and the shame many mothers carry in silence. Through raw vulnerability, they discuss how to hold both heartbreak and hope, and what it means to love like Jesus even when your child walks away.

This episode is for any parent navigating distance, silence, or emotional disconnection with a child. You’ll walk away with comfort, understanding, and the reminder: you are not alone.
