How can you create new possibilities in the new year?

To help start 2022 strong, let's talk about some powerful words that you can explore and adopt into your life to elevate you to the best version of yourself!

These are words that will motivate and inspire you, words that you can go back to and focus on to remind yourself of your goals and intentions for the year!

For more discussions like this, join us in the Widow Connection Community, where every Wednesday evening we have group coaching sessions to help on this healing path through grief.

You don't have to walk the path alone!

I have this idea and I would love for you to be a part of it!

After hosting my Widow's Holiday Club for the second year in a row, I felt like I wanted to continue our weekly Zoom meetings regularly. As we all know, different things come up with in-laws or with kids or with stress or with stress around finances, so many overwhelming aspects of grief!

And we know at those times we need some extra support from other widows who "get it".

I wanted to create a community, a membership, where widows can get together and share thoughts, fears, stories, helpful tips, ideas, dreams, all of it....without judgment!

Oftentimes we feel like we can't talk to friends or family members because we're making them uncomfortable or we feel like we're burdening them with our "problems".

This community that I want to create would be a safe space to come and learn new ways to navigate through grief. 

I would have a guest speaker come in once per month to teach on a new topic like self-care, finances, organizations, mindset, diet, to name a few. 

Want a book club? I love that idea! 

I want YOU to be involved in creating this space and making it the best possible!!

I also want to make super affordable to everyone so I'm starting at $33 per month. I want it to be accessible to everyone!

If you're interested, please let me know!

I would love to get started in January 2022, so you can get more information and sign up at www.widow180.com/membership

This episode was inspired by the incredible ladies in the Widow's Holiday Club!

It's been such a pleasure getting to know these amazing ladies and forming connections and friendships this holiday season.

When I asked the group about how they were feeling this week, the most popular response was "overwhelmed!"

So, in this episode I share 3 ways you can combat the holiday overwhelm!
