Ep 32 Hope in the Valley of Estrangement: God’s Promises for Weary Moms

In this episode, Nicole opens up about the deep valleys so many estranged moms find themselves in—those seasons where heartbreak, confusion, and grief collide. Using Billy Graham’s powerful reminder that “mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys,” she shares how God uses the lowest places to grow resilience, faith, and hope.

Nicole also shares practical steps for staying rooted in faith during hard seasons and highlights resources in her community, including devotionals and an online support group for moms facing estrangement. This episode is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and trust that God meets you in the valley, not just on the mountaintop.
