These podcasts are simply the best. Not just for widows. Not just for widow’d moms. Not just for those grieving. But for anyone who wants to understand themselves better. I’m on my 6th year of listening to Krista’s podcasts (every week) and I still get so much out of them. I also went through her program for 3 years and it was so helpful in giving me the tools to build a life I can love. Still using the tools regularly! Thanks Krista. You rock. 💚💜🧡
I found myself always going back to Krista’s podcast and listened to it continuously. It made me join Mom Goes On program and I’m really glad I did. I joined about a year in to widowhood and for me that was the right time for me to join MGO. But each person’s journey is so different. I’ve watched women of all timelines get benefit from the program. I still listen to every episode on the podcast!
I feel so positive with all of Krista’s Podcasts. She has lifted me up about myself! Every time I listen to Krista’s podcasts it makes me feel so good in mind, my body and the good thoughts that are happening to me. I love the tools she gives to help everyone in every aspect of grief and life. Love you Krista and so happy I found you! 💖
I lost my husband in July 2025. I have really enjoyed Krista’s podcasts. She has helped me understand what I’m feeling is normal and how to deal with some of the issues. I’ve only listened to a handful of them but I look forward to them. I would recommend this podcast to anyone that has lost someone close to them.
I enjoyed hearing ways to recognize feelings.
I am newly widowed, so still at the stage of disbelief and confusion.
I plan on listening to more of these podcasts.
