Feeling like your best days are behind you? You're not alone.
In this powerful episode, I talk about one of the most common fears widows and grievers experience:
“Will life ever feel good again?”
You'll learn:
Why it's normal to fear the future after loss How grief tricks us into believing joy isn’t possible What God actually promises (and what He doesn’t) How to redefine "better" days after widowhood Why hope isn’t just a feeling—it’s a decisionI’ll also share a deeply personal story of resilience from a friend whose life changed forever—and how she found purpose even in suffering.

What If Everything You’ve Been Told About Grief Is Wrong?
In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to work with a grief-informed life coach—and why coaching was the missing piece that helped me go from surviving to truly living again after loss.
You’ll hear:
What traditional grief resources didn’t give me (and what coaching did) The Brave Widow Coaching Framework I use with most 1:1 clients Real stories and results from my clients (and how they found direction again) Why 6 months of coaching creates lasting transformation—not just temporary relief What makes 1:1 coaching different from therapy, grief groups, or courses💛 If you’re tired of feeling stuck in grief or unsure what’s next—this is your sign.
