You’ve become part of a club that no mom wants to join. You’re experiencing family estrangement, where your adult child no longer talks to you, or speaks to you only rarely.
Your mind spins in confusion, going back and forth between wondering why this happened, and being hurt and angry.
Maybe you’ve had some pretty severe accusations hurled at you, or perhaps your adult child has given you no clue about why they chose to estrange.
Whether your family estrangement is brand new, or has lasted for years, there are specific steps you can take to feel better and increase your chance of a successful reconciliation.
Hi, I’m Jenny Good.
I’ve been through estrangement with my own adult child. I know what worked, and what didn’t. While I am a Certified Coach with specific training in family estrangement, this is more than theory to me; I’ve lived it. Here are a few key points I want you to know…
• The fact that your adult child chose to estrange does not mean you’re a bad person.
• Even if you feel like there’s no hope for a reconciliation with your estranged adult child, there actually is a path forward.
• I promise that this family estrangement has not doomed you to an unhappy life.
• Getting the support of a Christian coach who specializes in family estrangement, as soon as possible, saves you many mistakes and can often shorten the length of your estrangement

I feel empowered as a mother, even during estrangement
Having a coach and mentor who is rooted in Christ is very important. Jenny helped me find clarity and make decisions I had been stuck and trying to figure out for some time. I’ve experienced so much inner healing as we’ve worked together. We’ve designed a lifestyle I love, and we are working through my feelings about estrangement from my adult children. I feel empowered as a mother, even during estrangement, and I feel purposeful and happy in my empty nest chapter. I don’t get new age garbage when I speak with Jenny. Instead, I have a trusted coach who speaks in truth and love.

I had to find someone that could help me walk this path of family estrangement
I found myself on a path I never dreamed I would be on…“Estranged Parent” of an adult child. This was a title I never wanted, and thought it would never exist in our family. After trying for over a year to work my way through this unthinkable hurt, I had to find someone that could help me walk this path of family estrangement. I was blessed to find Jenny Good. Jenny has been a vital part of helping me walk this path with more strength and clarity than I could find on my own. Her kind and caring nature, and the wisdom she imparts, is so valuable. There is such a need for estranged parents to be coached by someone that has experienced this same hurt first hand. Jenny is a blessing I will always be thankful for.

Jenny has given me a new toolbox, filled with strategies, approaches, and vocabulary, which has greatly helped me work through my feelings to find strength in myself and not get swallowed up in the anxiety and sadness of estrangement.

My son agreed to meet with me
When I decided to work with Jenny Good, I was desperate to find relief for my broken heart, and to mend the relationship with my son and DIL. I have now been able to do without my anxiety medication because Jenny gave me tools to manage my emotions. And, after Jenny and I worked together to create the right communication to my son, he has agreed to meet with my husband and me! I have a new found hope since working with Jenny. Reach out to her if you’re struggling with estrangement.

I have found joy and peace again
Jenny has been so helpful in guiding gently so that the estrangement experience does not define or control my life anymore. I did not know what a difference 12 coaching sessions could make! Jenny’s prompts and questions allowed me to reclaim my power and decide how I wanted to show up regardless of what my child chose to do. I have found joy and peace again and I know that there is hope for reconciliation in God’s time.

My formerly estranged daughter wants to meet with me for lunch
Without Jenny’s knowledge, guidance, compassion, finesse and every other tool she had to engage in spiritual warfare against the enemy, I do not know where I would be today. When my daughter first estranged I was totally shattered and paralyzed with the deepest grief. I could barely concentrate on anything. No sleep, only crying. I was searching, but I didn’t have a clue where to go for help, until I was referred to Jenny. I knew instantly that I was home. That there was hope! And with God’s Spirit and grace with us, there could be peace and a path to reconciliation. My formerly estranged daughter wants to meet with me for lunch, and I feel so blessed that you are our estrangement coach. We are going to make it after all!

She helped me become stronger
I have been estranged from two of my children for over 5 years. I felt nothing but devastation and heartache every day trying to figure out the reasons, and how to fix it. Jenny taught me how to separate my pain from my past story, and to see the love and care I can still bring to my children during estrangement. She helped me become stronger, not just as their mother, but as a daughter of the Most High King. Today, I am thankful for the lessons I learned, the opportunity to look at myself in an honest way, own my part and have compassion for my children. I am so grateful for Jenny’s gentle spirit, her prayers and her encouragement to become the best version of myself; for myself, my family and especially the Lord.

A happier life
Jenny helped me focus on what was truly important, and she taught me the coping skills I needed to face a difficult situation with dignity and grace. I would highly recommend coaching with Jenny to any Christian woman who wants to process hard emotions and move forward to a happier life.
