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,

1:55.5

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.
