Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 93, Widows Unfiltered, an interview with Bevan Farrand.

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.

Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.

Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I know sometimes that most of us out there in

widowed mom land feel like we're on islands by ourselves and we don't typically have a lot of other

women to look to who have walked a similar walk and it can just feel very isolating and lonely.

And so I love the widow's unfiltered interviews that I've done.

And what I hope is that when you listen to them, you hear other women who are relatable

and get you, who inspire you, who help you see what's possible for your life. Because if they can make

the changes that they want to make, then the rest of us can too. Right. So I'm excited to bring you

this interview with a former client of mine, Bevin. I will not tell you too much about her. I'm just going to let the interview

unfold, but I know that you're going to love her. I know that you're going to find her story

inspiring. She really is a pretty fierce woman, if I do say so. I'm sure that's how her friends

would describe her too, compassionate, but also she knows what she wants and she just inspires me. So let's jump

into it without further ado. I love to introduce you to Bevin Farrant. Welcome Bevin to the podcast.

Oh, thank you. I'm excited. Thank you so much for having me. It's my pleasure. So here's, I have to tell the listeners how this came to be. So Bavin and I coached together about a year ago. So your husband died in November. I'll let you tell this story. But November of 2019 and we started sometime in the early spring. Right. Yeah. I think it was early 2020 because I think it was like right before COVID started. I don't think we were actually in COVID when we started. So I feel like it was February maybe.

There's life before COVID. I was just going to say. That's how we mark time. I don't even know. Yeah. And so we hadn't talked for a while after we had coached. And then I got a message

from Bevin and it like exploded my brain. And I decided that all widowed moms must hear

Bevan's story because it will explode your mind too. And so I'm super excited. Okay. So,

a little teaser there. Stay tuned. So why don't you just

start, yeah, by like introducing yourself and kind of telling us your, you know, widow journey.

Sure. So my name is Bevin and I was married to the most wonderful man named Mark. And in
