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.
