I feel the need now more than ever to be more clear with my message and purpose.So far Widow Your Way has been more of an expression or feeling of empowerment for Widows, but not put into clear words. I have never wanted to be someone who gives Widow advice. There are no step-by-step guides here, no one-size-fits-all remedies—just the ho...

The Unfiltered Thoughts of Widows

When I was going through my toughest times, Rebecca's podcast was a great source of comfort to me. Her direct approach, mixed with humor, helped me cope with my grief. Among all the episodes, my favorite is "Breaking Silence: The Unfiltered Thoughts of Widows".

I just wanted to say thank you, Rebecca, for making me laugh during those moments when I felt like crying, screaming, or throwing things. Your podcast will always be remembered as your legacy.
