Motherhood, Shame and Guilt - A Conversation with Barbara Juliani

Help & Hope

Barbara Juliani and Jane Anne Wilson join Sharon Betters to talk about those feelings every mother experiences at one time or another. This conversation follows an interview with Barbara about prodigal children. Barbara and her father Jack Miller co-authored Come Back, Barbara, a raw and transparent story of Barbara’s rebellion against her parents and their faith and her journey “back home”. Whenever a child rebels or disappoints parents, mothers often feel ashamed and as though their child’s behavior is a reflection on their parenting skills. “Was I too soft, too hard, spanked when I shouldn’t have, neglected a specific need in my child?” Where do moms go with these feelings? If you are that mother, this conversation will encourage you as you realize you are not alone and there is a way toward freedom. These are links to the books referenced by Barbara:

Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands

Shame Interrupted: How God Lifts the Pain of Worthlessness and Rejection

A Small Book about Why We Hide: How Jesus Rescues Us from Insecurity, Regret, Failure, and Shame
