Get on the waitlist for Functional Health Coaching HERE.

In this heartfelt episode, Tanya explores a topic many women quietly carry — the pain of feeling shut out by those we love. Whether it’s strained relationships with adult children, in-laws, close friends, siblings or even spouses, this kind of relational heartache leaves us wondering: How did we get here… and how do we heal?

Tanya shares practical, faith-rooted wisdom on how to respond with grace instead of guilt, humility over defensiveness, and love without manipulation. She reminds us that leadership isn’t just about our titles or our work — it’s about how we lead ourselves through seasons of rejection, disappointment, and strained connection.

Through personal reflection, biblical encouragement, and practical takeaways, Tanya equips you to keep showing up with love and consistency, trusting God to work in the hearts you can’t change.

If you’re navigating relational strain in your family or close friendships, this episode will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that you are not alone.

Key Takeaways:

✔ Why relational pain in midlife cuts so deep
✔ How to respond with maturity, humility, and faith
✔ Why boundaries aren’t rejection — and how to respect them
✔ How to lead yourself through relational heartache without guilt trips or control
✔ The spiritual perspective on reconciliation and healing
✔ Practical steps to remain consistent in love without expectation
