If you’re strong for everyone else but silently grieving broken family relationships, this episode will feel like God speaking directly to your heart.

Many high-achieving Christian wives and mothers are leading boldly at work, showing up for their families, and serving faithfully — yet privately carrying exhaustion, unresolved wounds, or strained relationships that quietly drain their peace. In this deeply honest conversation, Ashley Kinkead shares her powerful journey through 22 years of estrangement from her parents and the unexpected path God used to bring reconciliation, healing, and restoration.

Ashley is the author of After the Locusts: A Story of Hope for Anyone Estranged or No Contact with a Parent, and she opens up about:

✨ Breaking generational patterns through faith
✨ Navigating boundaries, forgiveness, and emotional healing
✨ What reconciliation REALLY looks like — and when it doesn’t happen
✨ Trusting God when restoration feels impossible
✨ How healing family relationships impacts leadership, identity, and motherhood

If you’ve ever wondered:

  • Can I pursue peace without losing myself?
  • How do I honor God while protecting my emotional health?
  • Is healing possible when years of pain exist?

This episode will remind you that restoration begins with surrender — and that you don’t have to carry the weight alone.
