0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 260, Widows Unfiltered, an interview with Stephanie Hester Rodriguez.
0:11.4	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
0:23.4	truly look forward to. Here's your host, master certified life coach, grief expert, widow,
0:30.0	and mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:33.9	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. So first of all, it is my birthday today. If you
0:41.0	are listening on the day that this podcast episode releases, it is my birthday. And I have a request for you.
0:47.4	Would you, as a birthday present to me, if this podcast has helped you, would you please go leave a review
0:53.5	on whatever format you listen to the podcast?
0:56.7	And the reason that's important to me is because I really want more widows to hear this podcast.
1:03.1	There are 11 million widows in the U.S. alone. And the more I can get this information in the hands of other widows, the better.
1:13.7	And the more you rate and review the podcast, the more that happens. So if you would do that,
1:19.1	I would be so, so grateful as a birthday present to me. Okay. Today I have for you a special guest,
1:26.9	Stephanie Hester Rodriguez. You are going to love her. I love her.
1:31.5	And it's times like this where I really have to pinch myself sometimes. We just got done doing the
1:39.5	interview and then usually what happens is I do the interview and then I go back and then I record
1:43.3	the intro like I'm doing now. And so I just did this interview with Stephanie. And after I hit stop, record and sat there
1:50.9	for a minute, it just kind of have to pinch myself because this is what I get to do for a living.
1:55.5	These are the types of people that I get to meet. These are the types of journeys that I get to be a part of. And I am still not
2:03.6	happy that Hugo died. I still don't wish that that had happened. And I am also so, so grateful
2:12.1	that I have gotten to meet and work with and come to know and connect with women like Stephanie. So I love
2:20.2	her. I know you're going to love her. And without further ado, we'll let you get into the interview.
2:26.4	All right. Welcome Stephanie to the podcast. I'm happy that you are here. Hey, Krista. It's great to be here.
