0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 113, disenfranchised grief.
0:10.3	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.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey there. Welcome to another episode of the podcast. Just got back from vacation and a quick shout
0:40.6	out. I think I might have mentioned this in the last podcast episode as I was preparing to leave
0:45.6	for vacation, but the boyfriend and I went and stayed with one of my clients, or at one of my

2:04.6	booking a rental car. And what to some people might not seem like that big of a deal, but for her
2:09.2	is some big victories. And so I'm just really proud of her for doing that. I'm really proud of
2:13.7	Suzanne for how she shows up as a solo parent and provides just such amazing memorable
2:21.7	experiences for her boys and also really grateful to know women like this to be able to work
