  • Grounding and Stabilizing

    The pain and desperation I felt after my husband died unexpectedly was unbearable at times, especially in those moments when I was at home, alone. When I discovered Karen‘s podcast, I found an opening to start navigating the pain in a more productive way. Her shows were and still are a reliable source of comfort and guidance in this often lonely healing process. She’s helping me reframe my challenges, develop more compassion for self, and to be more deliberate with my choices, small and large. ... more

  • The best resource for widows

    After my husband died December 17, 2024 very suddenly and traumatically I knew I was going to need a lot of help managing the overwhelming grief.

    I had never experienced such physical pain and shock. I had found a few widow podcasts but Karen’s is the one I listen to every day for the last 4 months catching up on all the years prior episodes.

    Thank you so much
