Are you exhausted by the nonstop mental load of solo parenting after loss, even when you’re doing everything “right”? In this episode, I talk about the emotional, mental, and nervous system impact of solo parenting in widowhood and why so many widows feel overwhelmed in ways that rest alone doesn’t fix. Join me this week to hear how solo parenting after loss affects executive functioning, decision-making, emotional regulation, and nervous system capacity. You’ll learn practical ways to reduce the mental load of solo parenting through systems, simplified decisions, community support, age-appropriate responsibility for kids, and intentional rest. This episode is a compassionate reminder that overwhelm is not failure, and you were never meant to carry all of this alone.

Tune in this week as I talk about the difference between consuming grief content and actually doing the work of healing.

This episode is a reminder that fulfillment after grief is possible, and you deserve support getting there.

What if understanding your nervous system in grief could completely change how you experience loss, healing, and emotional overwhelm? This week, I sit down with Deb Dana, a renowned clinician, author, and polyvagal expert, best known for translating Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory into practical, accessible tools for clinicians and the public. Join us as we explore how grief impacts the nervous system and why so many widows feel stuck in survival states after loss. We unpack the role of polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation, and survival responses like fight, flight, and shutdown. You’ll also learn practical ways to work with your nervous system in grief, identify patterns of dysregulation, and find micro moments of safety through glimmers.

What if your grief could become part of an intentional, meaningful next chapter? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my client Wendy Veazie as she shares her deeply personal journey after the sudden loss of her husband, Peter, and how she learned to reframe her grief story and navigate unimaginable pain without losing herself.

Together, we explore how grief can coexist with gratitude, authenticity, and intentional living.
