Meet your Host:
Yasmin Kerkez.
I’m a certified Family Estrangement Specialist, Life Coach, Speaker and co-founder of Family Support Resources with my husband Michael. We started Family Support Resources out of our passion to shine a light on family struggles that are rarely discussed, and uplift and inspire those experiencing these challenges.
Most people facing family estrangement don’t know where to turn for help. From my own journey through family difficulties, I’ve learned how to embrace my circumstances with loving acceptance, overcome grief, and reclaim my life. Now, I want to help others do the same.
