Podcast Show Notes: Interview with Michelle Rohlf
Story Highlight: In today's episode of The Women Behind the Words, we delve into Michelle Rohlf's powerful story of estrangement and ultimate reconciliation with her daughter, Naomi. Michelle's journey is marked by deep emotional struggles, rooted in her own challenging childhood experiences.
Michelle recounts the early days of what was perhaps the beginning of estrangement, triggered when her 3-year-old daughter was sent to stay with her biological father for the summer. Despite not knowing her father well, it was determined Michelle’s daughter remained with her father for the summer. The separation from her mother had a profound impact on their relationship which Michelle realized as the years went on.
Michelle reflects on how her daughter became the center of her world, leading to a codependent relationship. Her protective nature unintentionally hindered her daughter's growth, fostering fear of life's challenges for Naomi and Michelle. She wanted to shelter her daughter from ever facing any conflict.
Michelle opens up about her own difficult childhood, marked by rejection from her grandmother and father. Constant criticism and body-shaming left Michelle feeling unworthy and affected her parenting approach.
Michelle realized her daughter, at age 17, was grappling with abandonment issues. Her daughter's marriage to a controlling older man further strained their relationship, leading to a prolonged separation, resulting in years-long estrangement.
Michelle's wake-up call came with the recognition of her own co-dependency and the decision to seek therapy. Embracing a spiritual journey, Michelle found solace and transformation through a relationship with Jesus.
Both Michelle and her daughter have experienced a wonderful transformation through their faith in Jesus and the blessing of a helpful therapist. Their mother-daughter relationship is restored, and they now walk together in the beauty of reconciliation.
Michelle's story is a testament to the power of God working in her life, self-awareness, therapy, and spiritual growth in overcoming deep-seated wounds. She gives all the glory to Jesus for her healing and reconciliation with her daughter! Today, Michelle and Naomi share a healthy, balanced relationship, with Jesus at the center.
About the Guest (Bio): Michelle has spent a lifetime focusing on relationships and encouraging others to cultivate their own healthy relationships by speaking at retreats, women’s meetings and Bible Studies. She has a passion for mentoring and discipleship whether it be one-on-one or in small groups. Married to a wonderful man since 1995, Michelle resides in Phoenix, Arizona. She has two daughters, two grandsons, and two small, fluffy dogs. Losing Her, Finding Me is her first book.
Book Spotlight: Losing Her, Finding Me
Finding hope amidst estrangement…
How does a mother who put her entire identity into her baby the moment she came into the world find herself again when, years later, her grown child cuts all ties?
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. But just as Michelle learns that her life isn’t over because her daughter walked away, Naomi shows up again, without apology or explanation.
Much to Michelle’s surprise, this reappearance challenges her own recovery from codependency. She finds herself in a struggle to hold on to the sense of self she fought so hard to gain. This is the story of a woman who had to lose her daughter in order to find the identity she’d never really had.
If you are a parent who has become estranged from your child, there is hope. You are not alone in this journey of rejection. The first step toward healing is to work on yourself. Find your own life apart from your child, because you are valuable and the world needs you.

Podcast Show Notes: Interview with Kathy Collard Miller
Story Highlight: Kathy Collard Miller believed God had led her and her high-school sweetheart, Larry, into marriage. After all, he was already a Christian and God had used him to draw Kathy into becoming a born-again Christian. But her plan to get him to the altar so that she could alter him didn’t work. And then after having two children, their relationship crumbled into anger, conflict, and misunderstandings. Kathy longed for a perfect marriage, but they realized after seven years of marriage, there was little hope of reaching that goal. Kathy hated her life, marriage, and being a mother. She could no longer deny she had become a child abuser with her two-year-old toddler. She prayed the plane Larry was flying as a hobby would crash. Since God didn’t answer her plea for an instantaneous deliverance of her marriage and anger, she decided He had given up on her and there was no hope. She almost took her life. But God was faithful and over time, worked in Larry and Kathy’s lives to teach them how to be patient and loving with themselves and their children. God’s empowerment made it possible for Kathy to share her story and her ministry of writing and speaking began.
Now Larry and Kathy write and speak together and individually. They have been married for 53 years. They love to teach others about God’s ability to work miraculously in hopeless situations. Kathy is the author of over 60 books and is an international speaker. Larry has authored 13 books (some co-authored with Kathy),
About the Guest (Bio): Kathy is a best-selling, award-winning author of women’s Bible studies, biblical commentaries, and Christian living topics.
Kathy is an animated communicator who passionately wants God to receive the glory He deserves. Her favorite topics are about trusting God more and sharing how the Bible applies to every challenge in life. Her writing and speaking offer encouragement, biblical principles, and hope. She loves her husband, two children, and two grandchildren. She is amazed at how God has used her story of restored hope to bring fresh encouragement, biblical insights, and joy to so many.

Podcast Show Notes: Interview with Dr. Michelle Bengtson
Story Highlight: Join us today on The Women Behind the Words in this compelling conversation with Dr. Michelle Bengtson as she shares her unique life story, emphasizing the importance of faith, resilience, and the willingness to walk in the Lord’s plans and purposes for her life.
Dr. Michelle, a clinical neuropsychologist, was born prematurely, weighing less than 3 pounds, defying the odds of survival during a time when premature births faced significant challenges.
At the age of 3, Dr. Michelle faced a life-threatening illness with a staggering 107°F temperature. Doctors struggled to lower her temperature, telling her parents they had to lower this raging fever, or it was likely she wouldn’t survive the night.
Despite the grim prognosis, she defied the odds and lived.
Although, because of her childhood illness, Dr. Michelle's success as a physician continues to be accompanied by a daily struggle with excruciating pain, which she has lived out every day of her life since the age of 3.
Dr. Michelle’s story goes way deeper than the childhood illness, which she shares with transparency knowing her journey will continue to be life-changing for others who are acquainted with adversity.
The tapestry of her life is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of overcoming adversity through the mercy, grace, and faithfulness of a Living God, who has been with her every step of the way.
Dr. Michelle's deep faith in Jesus is the driving force in her life.
Despite ongoing pain, her focus remains on serving Jesus and following His plans, prioritizing His purposes over personal comfort. To quote her, “I want to be obedient more than I want to be comfortable.”
Her commitment to faith and relationship with Jesus, living out His purposes for her life highlights the transformative power of resilience and a strong spiritual foundation she has seen Him birth in her heart––even in her darkest days.
Don't miss the opportunity to be inspired by a woman who has walked through challenges, dedicating her life to serving Jesus and embracing His plans. Her story is life-changing.
About the Guest (Bio): Dr. Michelle Bengtson is a hope concierge! Whether as a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, host of the award-winning podcast Your Hope Filled Perspective, or the author of several award-winning books including Hope Prevails and Breaking Anxiety’s Grip, her passion is to share hope and encouragement with others.

You can find her and her hope-filled resources at DrMichelleB.com
Book Spotlight: The Hem of His Garment
Hope for When the Pain Won't Quit
Everyone experiences pain at times. It can manifest physically, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually. It can follow tragic accidents, great loss, sudden betrayal, or unexpected and unwanted change. Often it is temporary. But what do you do when it isn't? When the pain just won't go away, when healing does not come, when the grief and hurt settle in?
Drawing on her own experience of chronic pain and her years as a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides a countercultural perspective on pain. Offering hope without any false promises or empty platitudes, Dr. Bengtson unwraps the complex emotional aspects of dealing with pain. She gives you permission to question God, helps you identify the lies you've believed about your pain, and reorients your perception based on the truth of God's Word. Each chapter ends with a recommended playlist, reflection questions, and a prayer.
Your pain may not change, but your experience of it can.
