| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 278, the double whammy of empty nesting and widowhood. |
| 0:10.8 | 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. |
| 0:24.7 | 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. Shocker volleyball season has started. |
| 0:39.9 | If you don't know, I went to Wichita State. I live in Kansas. And my daughter was a volleyball |
| 0:45.7 | player and I love watching shocker volleyball. So I'm so excited that the season has started. |
| 0:51.0 | I'm also excited because this very week, I have Mom Goes On |
| 0:55.3 | members that decided to go on a cruise together. One of them is a very experienced cruiser and |
| 1:03.1 | travel agent, and she took the lead and planned it. And then the others, some of them had never |
| 1:09.2 | been on a cruise before. Some of them have, but they're all |
| 1:11.6 | going to hang out together. I'm sad that I can't be there, but I can't be there because we have |
| 1:16.0 | a master's retreat coming up this weekend, which will also be so fun for me, selfishly. I love |
| 1:22.5 | planning retreats. This one is an inside out theme. So we're exploring Pixar's Inside Out and Inside Out 2 and the parallels |
| 1:31.8 | with grief. And I'm really looking forward to that too. So lots of things going on here, |
| 1:37.0 | volleyball, master's retreat, and Grief Essentials is underway. So if you missed out on Grief Essentials, |
| 1:43.1 | I will tell you that you can get on the waiting |
| 1:45.9 | list. So you can go to Coaching withcresta.com forward slash work with me. That's where the application is |
| 1:52.8 | for mom goes on and for our private training. If you fill that out and all signs indicate that |
| 2:00.1 | grief essentials is a better fit for you than |
| 2:02.4 | mom goes on, then we will just add you to the waiting list and let you know when the next |
| 2:07.2 | grief essentials opens up. That again is my eight-week program for those who are wanting |
| 2:12.4 | early grief to be easier. Mom goes on, on the other hand, is for those who are kind of stuck in the grief plateau. |
