In this Bent Not Broken Bonus Episode, Coach Deborah takes a heartfelt dive into her powerful conversation with Kendra Foley—a mother, advocate, and survivor whose story of parental alienation turned heartbreak into purpose.Parental alienation is one of the most painful and misunderstood experiences a parent can endure. In this episode, Coach Deborah unpacks Kendra’s story and shares five key lessons to help parents and families heal, stay hopeful, and reclaim their peace.💡 Key Lessons Discussed1. Educate Yourself: Knowledge brings clarity. Understanding the emotional, legal, and psychological patterns of alienation empowers you to respond with strength rather than fear.2. Embrace the Three Ps — Patience, Persistence, and Prayer: Healing takes time. Keep showing up, keep loving, and keep believing in reconciliation, even when it feels impossible.3. Heal Yourself While You Wait: Focus on your emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. The journey back to your child begins with becoming the healthiest version of yourself.4. Set Boundaries and Protect Your Peace: Boundaries aren’t walls—they’re protection for your healing heart. Limit access to negativity and guard your inner peace.5. Forgive Fully and Freely: Forgiveness is a process that liberates you. It’s not about excusing someone’s behavior, but about freeing yourself from pain that no longer serves you.💬 Coach’s ReflectionIf you’re walking through alienation or family separation, remember: your worth hasn’t changed. You are still a good parent, still worthy of love, and still capable of healing. Every act of love matters. Every prayer counts.💬 Enjoyed this episode of Bent Not Broken: Life After Divorce with Deborah Griffiths?Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts  and Spotify so more people searching for life after divorce, divorce recovery, co-parenting, dating after divorce, and healing from gaslighting can discover this empowering podcast.
