Summary

Join me on the podcast this week as I discuss how this idea of a new normal can be helpful and liberating. I’m sharing how to get clear on what you’re thinking about your new normal, and where I see widows holding themselves back by trying to accept something they simply don’t like and is not serving them.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 57, the phrase new normal, helpful or hurtful.
0:10.2	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

0:32.8	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. If this is the first time you've listened, welcome.
0:40.0	I hope you find this podcast to be really useful no matter where you are in your journey.
0:48.0	And a little bit about what's been going on in my world lately. Of course, I record these

1:20.7	and kind of challenging my own unintentional thinking about the subject. I think I've been going along in my life, kind of
