In this vulnerable conversation, Nicole opens up about her personal journey of navigating the heartbreaking estrangement from her oldest daughter.

Together, they explore what estrangement really means, the emotional toll it takes—not just on moms, but on the entire family and the spiritual lessons God continues to teach in the midst of deep grief.

Robin and Nicole emphasize the importance of holding space for hard emotions while still making room for hope. They also highlight the power of faith, prayer, and community as lifelines in seasons that feel unbearably lonely.

If this episode resonates with your story, you don’t have to walk this road alone.
