0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, Episode 120, Self Pity versus Self-Compassion.
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
0:23.2	to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.8	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast.
