Don’t Let What You Didn’t Do Erase What You Did Do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s easy to end the day focusing on everything we didn’t get done and completely overlook what we did accomplish. In this episode, I share how changing my perspective helped me recognize the little victories instead of dwelling on what was left undone.

Widowhood- Don’t Live Afraid, Live Prepared (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Living alone after the loss of your husband can mean thinking about safety in ways you may not have before. In this episode, I share some simple things I do to protect myself at home and while I’m out—from keeping my keys separate from my purse to making my home look occupied. This isn’t about living in fear. It’s about being aware, being prepared, and feeling more confident taking care of yourself.

Read excerpt
Have you ever replayed an old conversation and found yourself getting angry all over again? In this episode, I talk about the conversations we wish we could redo, the things we understand now that we didn’t understand then, and why we don’t have to keep fighting battles with a past we can’t change.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation wondering if you said too much? In this episode, I talk about why our stories still matter—and why widows shouldn’t be afraid to talk about the husbands they loved, say their names, share their memories, and keep their stories alive.
