"Starting Over at 60: Grief, Growth & New Adventures"

Guest: Valerie Hayden

When Valerie Hayden lost her husband, she did what came naturally—she poured herself into helping others. As an experienced social worker, she believed that guiding her clients through their struggles would somehow help her navigate her own. But in the process, she realized that she, too, needed space to grieve.

In this heartfelt conversation, Valerie shares how she had to pick up the pieces of her life, redefine who she was as a single woman in her 60s, and trust God to guide her into this new season of life. She speaks candidly about grief, rediscovering joy, and embracing new adventures with an open heart and renewed faith.

If you’re a widow, widower, late bloomer, or simply looking for a fresh start, Valerie’s story is proof that it’s never too late for new beginnings—especially when you’re walking with God.
