Michelle Bader Ebersole shares a heartfelt recap of the fourth Widow Goals Retreat and reflects on why community matters so deeply after loss.
From worship, small groups, breakout sessions, and meaningful conversations to the ropes course, zip lining, line dancing, and Widow’s Prom, the retreat was filled with connection, laughter, courage, and healing. Michelle shares some of the moments that stood out most, including the “You Are Chosen” crown ceremony and the joy of watching women arrive as strangers and leave with real friendships.
She also talks about the unexpected ways women found Widow Goals through social media, the podcast, word of mouth, and conversations that seemed to happen at exactly the right time.
This episode also gives a glimpse into what is next. Michelle introduces AGAIN, a new chapter focused on helping women rebuild after grief, loss, trauma, or major life change, and shares details about the first AGAIN Retreat coming August 19–22, 2027, near Portland, Oregon.
At the heart of both Widow Goals and AGAIN is the same message: healing takes community, hope can return, and joy can exist alongside grief.
