Summary

Listen in today as I show you the upside of dropping the story you might be holding onto about how your life was supposed to go. We fool ourselves when we argue and fight for that story, and we are the ones that suffer. I’ll be sharing a few questions you can consider to decide how you’re going to show up for the one life you have and how you’re going to choose to live on purpose.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, Episode 63, How Life was Supposed to Go.
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.
0:32.7	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast, Wondering.
0:37.4	Have you ever caught yourself thinking
0:39.4	that this isn't how life was supposed to go? That this wasn't your dream, that you were
0:46.4	supposed to live happily ever after. We all have a story about how life was supposed to go.

1:06.3	Proton Priest wrote a review called Thank You and gave the podcast five stars. And she wrote, I love this

1:20.3	during quarantine to work on healing. I listen while I walk and love the perspective Krista provides.
1:25.9	I loved episode 30 about making decisions. I felt

1:45.9	better now were both a huge help, and I shared what I learned with my teenagers. Thank you for sharing
1:51.0	your growth and journey. Thank you so much for that review. I really appreciate it. And if you
1:56.7	haven't left one in this podcast has helped you, would you do that for me? That is not just
2:02.1	important to me. Of course, I feel my ego loves it when I read reviews. It makes me feel really good,
2:07.7	but the real reason I love getting reviews is because it is what helps other people find the
2:11.7	podcast. And that's what I want more than anything is for this podcast to help people, help all
2:16.9	the widows. And there are 11 million of us.
