Guest's Bio
More and more adult children are cutting off their parents. Today's guest says that everything a mother's instinct tells her to do in that moment is wrong. And she would know.
Marit Welker has been on both sides of estrangement. First with a parent. Years later, her adult child cut her off. Both relationships are happily restored. But Marit walked through fire to get there. Today she works with Christian mothers who are navigating that silence, helping them heal, find their identity, and step into purpose and peace on a new path, one that also prepares them for the possibility of reunification.
Marit is a certified life coach, a speaker on three continents, and the host of Still Here., a podcast for mothers walking this road. She studied scripture in Jerusalem, served as a missionary in South America, and teaches from a Christ-centered foundation informed by neuroscience and personal development.
Marit, you say a mother's instincts after being cut off will make things worse. Walk us through that.
