In this episode, I sit down with Verna Kakowchyk, a woman whose story of loss, transformation, and resilience inspires us to embrace life’s challenges with courage. Verna opens up about navigating grief after the loss of her husband, the power of seeking therapy, and how she rebuilt her life through community and self-care.

We explore Verna’s journey of taking charge during her husband’s illness, managing overwhelming responsibilities, and setting healthy boundaries to protect her peace. From joining social groups to finding joy in new beginnings, Verna shares how she discovered strength in vulnerability and the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people.
