0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, episode 142, Widows Unfiltered, an interview with Anne
0:07.6	Kerrigan. Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process
0:15.9	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. I've got another interview for you today from a

1:40.8	accomplished. That wasn't why they came to coaching. They came to coaching
1:45.2	because they didn't feel good, right? Emotionally, they weren't where they wanted to be.
1:50.7	They felt like they were stuck in their grief. They wanted some support. Life was surviving but not
1:55.9	thriving. And it was only later after we got past all the ick, that they started to give themselves
