BW 170: From Chaos to Calm: Your First 5 Moves in Early Grief (That Actually Help)


Listen Later

If you’re widowed and feel like you’re drowning, this episode gives you a clear starting line. I walk through my RISE framework: the 4 Seasons of Grief (Rawness, Isolation, Self-Discovery, Empowerment) and the Chaos-to-Calm Blueprint (the 5 foundations I use with clients). 

 

You’ll leave knowing your very next step and where to get help, free or paid.

 

What you’ll learn 

  •  How to identify your current season of grief using RISE (Rawness, Isolation, Self-Discovery, Empowerment)
  •  The 5 foundations that stabilize you fast: Routine, Self-Care, Help, Emotional Healing, Spiritual Connection 
  •  Why time alone doesn’t heal—and the action steps that do
  •  Free ways to get support (Skool community, guides, quiz) and how to book a consult if you want hands-on help

      I’m Emily Tanner.  I was widowed at age 37, one month shy of our 20 year wedding anniversary.  Nathan and I have four beautiful children together, and my world was turned completely upside down when I lost him.  

       

      Now, I love my life again!  I’m able to experience joy, achieve goals and dreams I thought I’d lost, and rediscover this next version of me.

       

      I did the work.

      I invested in coaching for myself.

      I learned what I needed to do to move forward and took the steps.

      I implemented the tools and strategies that I use for my clients in my coaching program.

       

       

      This is for you, if:

      •  You want a faith-based approach to coaching
      •  You want to move forward after loss, and aren’t sure how
      •  You want to enjoy life without feeling weighed down by guilt, sadness, or regret
      •  You want a guide to help navigate this journey to the next version of you
      •  You want to rediscover who you are
      •  

        •  Schedule a consult with Emily:  https://calendly.com/bravewidow/widow-consult-call?month=2024-08 
        •  

           

          Find and take the next steps to move forward (without “moving on”).
