44 | When Communication Breaks Down with Your Estranged Child: Practical Ways to Rebuild Connection, with Michelle Pexa

In this episode, I’m joined by guest Michelle Pexa. Together, we talk about how to rebuild healthier, more respectful communication with your estranged child when connection has been strained or broken. If you want to reopen communication in a thoughtful, intentional way—without repeating old patterns—this conversation will give you tools to begin moving toward more peaceful interactions. You’ll learn how to shift the way you communicate to reduce defensiveness, ask better questions that invite openness, and begin practicing skills that prepare the way for future reconciliation. We also share a little-known professional strategy you can use to reset the foundation of communication when past conversations have led to tension, misunderstandings, or emotional shutdowns. These strategies will help you stay grounded and calm in difficult relational dynamics as you continue to pray, trust in God, and walk in God’s peace—even when communication with your prodigal child is strained, minimal, or currently paused due to estrangement. If you would like personalized support as you process communication challenges with your estranged adult child, I’d love to walk alongside you.
