Summary

I’ve talked on the podcast before about the stories we tell ourselves when it comes to the loss of our person. But I want to go a little deeper this week and show you how your brain is the only thing keeping you stuck in old pain, and how you can start choosing a new experience of the past right now without changing the facts of what happened in the past.

0:00.0	Do you have pain that keeps affecting you because of things that happened in your past?
0:04.9	If so, this will be a life-changing episode for you.
0:09.7	I'm going to challenge some fundamental beliefs that probably aren't serving you,
0:14.0	and hopefully by the end, you'll feel more optimistic than you have in quite some time.
0:20.3	And that's good news, right? So let's get
0:23.1	started, shall we? Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, Episode 39, Changing Your Painful Past.
0:32.7	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.

1:42.8	out a little bit, to be honest. I have lots of
1:45.0	thoughts and feelings about it. But someone that I've connected with on Bumble, which currently is my
1:51.1	app of choice hinge, I don't love as much. There just doesn't seem to be as many people in my area
