Grief, Identity & Starting Over for Women over 40

46 minutes

What if your grief isn’t you “being too emotional”… but your whole life story shifting shape?

In this episode, host Lisa Urbanski sits down with transformational coach Carole Hodges, along with grief experts Maryann Udell and Diana Camba, to talk about grief in all its forms—death, divorce, job loss, big moves, and identity changes.

You’ll learn how to:

💬 Name invisible grief (job loss, relocations, broken dreams), so it finally makes sense

🧠 Understand what grief does to your body and nervous system—and why stuffing it down backfires

📝 Use simple tools like journaling, grounding, and ritual to release emotion safely

👤 Navigate identity shifts after loss and answer the question, “Who am I now?”

👭 Lean on community and support without feeling weak or like a burden

🎯 Know when it’s time to reach out for a grief coach so you don’t stay stuck
