MILLER Case Study: Parent-Child Estrangement Coaching

For Rita Palmer, Parent-Child Estrangement Master Coach, the journey of turning her painful experience into a purpose-driven business came with numerous challenges. With the guidance of Miller: Resources for Entrepreneurs, she was able to navigate these challenges and establish a thriving estrangement coaching practice that helps parents, grandparents, and adult children reconcile after estrangement.

Years ago, Rita faced the heart-wrenching pain of becoming estranged from her daughters. “The separation left me feeling lost and consumed by grief,” Rita shared. “Through years of personal growth, advanced communication strategies, and emotional healing, we found our way back to each other.” This experience, combined with her professional expertise in psychology, family dynamics, and strategic intervention, has inspired Rita to dedicate her life to helping families reconnect.

“Starting Parent-Child Estrangement Coaching, LLC was my way of turning my pain into purpose,” Rita explained. “I realized that the insights, tools, and strategies I developed could help others navigate their own paths to reconciliation. By sharing my journey and the knowledge I’ve gained, I aim to support and guide other parents facing the heartbreak of estrangement, helping them transform their relationships and heal their families.”

Overcoming Challenges

Rita’s first steps in launching her estrangement coaching business were strategic and community focused. She created a MeetUp group for individuals navigating estrangement, and authored the book Estranged Parents: A New Approach to Healing and Reconciliation, which quickly became an Amazon bestseller. Despite these successes, Rita encountered several challenges common to new entrepreneurs.
