244- Widows, What Comes After Survival?

So I kind of wanted you to update you on where I am currently and as of july 20th 2026 and um kind of what i see in the future for Widowed too soon.

So thank you for those of you who have been loyal fans since the beginning.

I'm talking 2021.

But the crazy thing is probably most of you who listen were not even widowed in 2021.

But that's the beauty of technology.

You can go back and listen to past episodes and you can be caught up.

It's been quite the journey.

And I'm just in this place where I'm feeling like...

I really want to focus more on what's ahead than what's behind.

I've been widowed for six years.

I have been doing the podcast for five.

I've been helping widows for probably five and a half years.

And there's parts of it I really love, but honestly, it can be a lot sometimes.

And so I've been praying about direction.

I have been talking to my podcast coach and where I've landed, where I've landed the plane.

Actually, I don't know, because things could change again, is that I'm going to continue for the time being with this podcast, probably going to be going through a different widow goal each week maybe bring in some guests but not as many as usual and then really focus on what's next so some of you that have been around for a while you're kind of maybe like me like a little bit tired of looking back and all of the widow stories and all of that some of you might be brand new and that's not you and this part doesn't apply to you but some of you might be like yeah what's next like I'm really tired of looking behind I want to look ahead and what i say is next is how to rebuild your life so everything i do from here on out is going to be kind of focused in that direction so as you guys know i will be i know i've been talking about for months but it will be happening we'll be launching my new podcast for those of you who are ready for the next thing out of the fog and into the light rebuilding your life when everything changes.

And this one is really going to focus on step by step, like how do I rebuild my life? And it won't be just for widows.

It's for anyone who's rebuilding their life.

It might be divorce, another kind of grief, a job loss, like anything where someone's rebuilding their life.

And so I feel like it's going to be kind of more the direction I want to go I have loved my time doing interviews of widows.

I have loved this podcast.

And like I said, it'll continue, but maybe in a little different direction.

But I really feel like it's time for the next chapter for me to focus on that.

And in addition to Out of the Fog and Into the Light, I will also be working on my book, which is called...

You've Got the Wrong Girl, How to Survive the Life You Never Wanted.
