  • 135. Navigating Finances During Widowhood- with Donna Kendrick
    Donna Kendrick will never forget that “Omgosh, what just happened?!?!” moment when she discovered her husband Greg passed away suddenly in November 2013.
    During her time of grieving Donna quickly realized that she had stepped into a new role overnight, one where she had to take control of her family’s finances in order to keep life consistent for her and her kids. Important family decisions came on real soon and real quick, and Donna had to figure out how to navigate this new season in her life, which meant finding the professional resources to help.
    Donna has made it her life’s work to help other widows and widowers navigate their own financial decisions in the first days, weeks and months of widowhood... and the years to follow. She is the author of A Guide to Widowhood: Navigating the First Three Years (pub. Epic Author July 22) which is here to help through the first days, weeks and months of widowhood… and the years to follow. Donna is also the host of the Widow, Wisdom and Wealth ™ podcast, which aims to remove the intimidation out of financial planning, so families can handle any transitions that come their way.
    Donna is an avid long-distance runner who turns her passion into an ability to raise funds for local causes such as Safe Harbor, a grief counseling program. In 2022 Donna married her husband Jim and between them, they have six children. Together with their Newfoundland and English bulldog, they enjoy living in the community of Springfield Township, Wyndmoor, PA.

  • 133. The Week After My Mom Died- with Kendra Rinaldi
    In this episode I share the audio clip of a FB live I did just a week after my mom died of Pancreatic Cancer. In it I share a few takeaways that I thought may be valuable for someone who is recently experiencing grief as well as for someone who is supporting someone who is grieving.
    • The grieving process of a sudden death vs the grieving process of a death by an illness. My sister died in a car accident in 1996 and my mom died 9 months after being diagnosed from Pancreatic Cancer in 2016.
    • How our believes about life after death can play a part in our grief journey.
    • What to say when someone is grieving.
    • Don’t judge your grief or the grief of others. Everyone’s process is unique.

    I'm Diane Nnaemeka, an ESL teacher and speaker. I live in Thailand, and have been here for 4+ years, and I love it!

I make personal guides on these topics as well.

  • 129. Grieving Through the Space of Forgiveness- with Phoebe Leona
    Phoebe Leona is a dancer, speaker, author, yoga teacher, and transformational guide who helps us feel more embodied through somatic, movement, and expanded awareness practices to become more empowered in who we are, who we are becoming, and our having a greater sense of belonging. She has been a teacher and guide for most of her life, but it was after a year of extreme loss in 2013 when she found herself in the vast open space in between her old life and a new life, that she dove deeply into her practices and began her company, nOMad to help others through their own transition and the spaces in between. Throughout that time, Phoebe also developed her movement/somatic practice, Mvt109™ for students to fully embrace the freedom of moving in their bodies, transforming old patterns and reclaiming the vibrations & stories they want to bring to life. Phoebe also finds joy in sharing her story to help others in their healing. Phoebe tells her story on her TEDx Talk, her podcast The Space in Between, and her multi-author international bestseller Caged No More. Her newest book, Dear Radiant One, partners with GracePoint Publishing.
