0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 130, trading sadness for regret.
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.
0:32.8	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. So by the time you hear this episode,
0:39.4	the celebration event that is coming up at my house this weekend will be over and I will

1:45.2	wasn't that much to be nervous about. But we're just going to use this opportunity to celebrate

1:53.8	when I just really genuinely didn't feel like I had anybody to look toward as an example of
2:00.6	what was possible.
2:02.8	And man, it's really such a discouraging place to be in to not be able to find that. And these
