Summary

What is your relationship with pleasure? My guess is that you don’t truly believe your pleasure is a priority, but grief is a phenomenal opportunity for you to reassess where and how you can have a better quality of life.

Hear how most of us don’t prioritize pleasure, why pleasure is especially important in grief, and what you can do to create more pleasure and joy in your life.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 253, prioritizing pleasure as a widow.
0:10.3	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. Before we talk about prioritizing pleasure,
0:39.7	I would love to get your opinion on something. I'm thinking of creating a program for widows in
0:48.8	early grief. Mom goes on, does a great job of helping women who are stuck in the grief plateau,

1:46.0	about our thinking. We do a lot of challenging the way that we think about ourselves and the way
1:50.4	that we think about our lives. That's not great for early grief. Because in early grief,
1:55.3	things are a hot mess, right? Our hormones are off. We're not sleeping. Our widow fog can be intense.
2:00.6	We're not in a position
2:01.5	to think about our thinking and do some of that intense work. But maybe it's stuff that you've learned
2:07.9	from the podcast that you wish we're in a program. Maybe it's skills that you learned about how to,
