"If you’ve ever felt like you were navigating grief or big life changes alone, this episode is for you. I know that pain—because I’ve lived it. When I lost my husband, I was completely overwhelmed. I felt isolated, stuck, and unsure of how to move forward. But I learned that healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in community. That’s why I’m so excited to introduce something I’ve created just for women like you."
