In this powerful episode, I sit down with Roseanne Dawes, a mother whose journey through heartbreak, surrender, and unexpected grace will stay with you long after the episode ends.

Roseanne shares the deeply personal story of the eight months when her son broke all contact with her—months filled with uncertainty, fear, and the pain of not knowing how to move forward. What began as a devastating experience became the catalyst for a profound internal shift.

As she wrestled with sorrow and confusion, Roseanne began to see the limitations of her own black-and-white thinking. She recognized the ways she had clung to certainty, control, and “the right way,” and how those patterns had unintentionally created distance in her most cherished relationships. With honesty and humility, she describes the moment she realized that her son’s choices were never hers to manage.

Her story is tender, relatable, and full of hope. Together, we talk about:

• How to move from fear and judgment to compassion and trust

• Letting go of the illusion of control

• The life-changing truth that every one of us—no matter our path, questions, or choices—is always in God’s hands

If you’ve ever loved someone who is choosing a different direction, or if your heart aches for a child who has pulled away, this episode is a gentle reminder that God is working in ways we cannot see. Roseanne’s journey shows us that peace is possible, healing is real, and no one is ever beyond the reach of divine love.
