Summary

Every single day, I work with widows who are creating post-traumatic growth and don’t even realize it because the changes they’re undergoing don’t feel big enough.

It’s time to expand what we consider post-traumatic growth. Learn what post-traumatic growth in the small things could look like for you and how you might already be showing up with courage and bravery in the little things.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 270, post-traumatic growth in the small things.
0:09.0	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
0:23.7	to. Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:33.3	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. We're going to talk about post-traumatic growth,
0:38.6	which is one of my favorite subjects. We're going to talk about it again. I'll tell you why in a minute.
0:42.4	So it is at the time, if you listen to this episode, when it releases, I am at Heather's Camp,
0:48.6	which is my favorite time of the year. And I always like talking about it too because maybe you know
0:53.7	someone who would benefit from Heather's Camp in the future. And I always like talking about it, too, because maybe you know someone who would

1:01.5	visually impaired. And we started it in 2000. Wow, way back in 2000, in memory of my sorority

1:35.7	which is partly what I want to talk about today. But anyway, I say that to say, if you know a child,
1:41.9	and by child, I mean about five to in their early 20s, depending on their
1:46.8	developmental needs, typically 18, if they are typically developing. But if you know a child who would
1:52.6	benefit from a summer camp experience, it's only at this point four days long. But we give the most
1:58.4	normal camp experience we can possibly have, right? So we do archery and we do
2:02.5	swimming and we do horseback riding and crafts and all the things that you would expect to do at
2:08.9	summer camp and we just modify them. We even do high ropes. Not only do we do low ropes, we do very high
