  • Simply the Best

    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. 💚💜🧡

  • Thank God for Krista and team!

    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!

  • Great Help and Understanding

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

367. Tapping, Writing, and Finding Beauty in Grief: An Interview with Judith Lysaker
Q: What role does tapping play in your healing and how do you combine it with writing?
Tapping calms the body and opens space for creative insight; writing documents and amplifies what surfaces in tapping, allowing those discoveries to be explored in language and shared with others when ready.
367. Tapping, Writing, and Finding Beauty in Grief: An Interview with Judith Lysaker
Q: How has your writing evolved over the past three years?
Writing started as a private mourning practice, with long hours at the start; gradually it became more like painting—moving from inside-out processing to outside-in expression, weaving in memory, language, and new insights.
363. Reframing Your Grief Story: A Widows Unfiltered Interview with Wendy Veazie
Q: Tell listeners a bit about yourself and how you became a widow.
Wendy shares that she became a widow on Valentine's Day of 2025 after a series of caregiving and life changes, and she describes how she initially sought to honor her husband's memory while also planning how to move forward. She emphasizes that there isn't a single path to grief, that she intentionally shifted from seeking sympathy to building a future, and that finding a supportive community and the right tools helped her manage pain and rebuild meaning.
357. Ready to Date Again? Try the Burned Haystack Dating Method with Jennie Young
Q: What role does language play in evaluating a potential partner on dating apps?
The conversation emphasizes detecting rhetoric and symbolic cues (e.g., promises of traditional gender roles or 'the prize') that suggest control or manipulation, rather than focusing solely on looks or initial charm.
357. Ready to Date Again? Try the Burned Haystack Dating Method with Jennie Young
Q: How do you identify dangerous patterns in messages and profiles?
Patterns like disciplinary directive, test and apologize, and weaponized spirituality are discussed as indicators of boundary violations and potentially abusive behavior. By recognizing these patterns early, women can cut off interactions before harm escalates.
