The Widowed Mom Podcast

What if being single isn't something to fix or change, but actually a valid life choice worth celebrating? Maybe you're feeling pressure from family and friends to start dating. Or perhaps you're wondering if it's even possible to truly thrive on your own. Here's what I know: the narrative that we need to be coupled to be happy is just that: a narrative. And it's one we can rewrite. This week, I’ve invited Lucy Meggeson, author of Thrive Solo and host of the Thrive Solo podcast, to join me for this week's episode. Lucy has been single for over 8 years and she's living proof that solo life can be just as joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling as being partnered. Join us on this episode to hear Lucy’s own revolutionary approach to single life, and how being single can be just as meaningful and joyful as partnered life, with its own unique freedoms and opportunities.

Does grief feel like you're missing a limb? Like phantom pain that won't go away? When someone dies, we experience what's called a "social amputation." We literally lose a piece of ourselves, and our brain keeps searching for that missing connection. The good news? There's a powerful healing tool you already use every day - music.This week, I'm joined by board-certified music therapist Tim Ringgold for a conversation that opened my eyes to something I knew nothing about: how music can actually help us process grief. Tim brings not just professional expertise but deep personal understanding, having lost five of his best friends, his dad, and one of his daughters. His journey from aspiring rock star to music therapist began when he discovered that music was the only thing that brought him peace after experiencing profound loss.Join us to discover why all humans are inherently musical, practical tools you can start using today to bring your mind to the present moment, and the role that music can play in your grief journey.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/343 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifecoachkrista/Mentioned in this episode:Are you curious if Mom Goes On is right for you?The New Year's Mom Goes On Pass is the perfect way for you to join us in the program for two weeks and discover if it's the right place for you.

Are the holidays feeling heavy this year? Maybe you're dreading the traditions that used to bring joy. Maybe you're wondering how to navigate celebrations that feel incomplete without your person. Here's what I want you to know: You're allowed to do things differently. Listen in this week as I share five ideas for creating new traditions after loss, not because we need to replace what we had, but because sometimes we need space for something different that fits who we are now.
