Showing results for "Finding Me" in Parenting

Michelle Rohlf's unwanted estrangement from her daughter Naomi strips her of everything: her grandchildren, her peace of mind, and most of all, herself. In spite of her broken heart and broken spirit, she embarks on a three-year journey of healing and forgiveness, discovering the impact her own upbringing had on her attachment to her daughter. Just as Michelle learns that her life isn't over because her daughter walked away, Naomi shows up, without apology or explanation. This is the story of a woman who had to lose her daughter in order to find the identity she'd never really had.

Motherhood is a journey of love, challenge, growth, hard moments, beautiful moments, joy, frustration, connection , loneliness and everything in between and so much more. Becoming a mother brings with it so many changes to us and our lives in so many areas and there is a name for this - matrescence. The Finding Me In Motherhood Podcast will be here to support you through this journey - not just in the newborn days but in you whole journey as a mother and woman. I hope that these fortnightly short episodes are like gentle whispers of wisdom and inspiration for self reflection and growth.

In this book, she describes honestly about these deeply challenging aspects of motherhood and how God works through them to make us more like his son.
