0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 109, getting back out there.
0:10.4	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 truly look forward

0:32.5	Hey there.
0:33.7	Welcome to another episode of the podcast.
0:36.7	I wonder, are you feeling any dread about
