Widow Ways: Coping, Dealing and Running Through It."We are going to get through this, overcome, and have a story that helps others in this world."
Shelley Blevins & Christine Griggs
The Dare To Live Podcast is a truly remarkable and heartfelt show that tackles the difficult topic of losing a spouse with humor, love, and unwavering support. Each episode is a testament to the strength and resilience of the hosts, Christine and Shelley, as they navigate through the challenges of grief. As someone who has not experienced such a devastating loss, listening to their stories has been eye-opening and has given me a deeper understanding of what it's like for those who have. The honesty, authenticity, and encouragement they bring to each episode is truly inspiring.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the chemistry between Christine and Shelley. Their bond, which stems from going through similar tragedies together, shines through in every conversation. The raw emotion they display at times is gripping and draws listeners in, creating an intimate connection. Their ability to balance humor with the heaviness of their subject matter is commendable, making it a relatable and enjoyable listen.
The Dare To Live Podcast does an exceptional job at addressing difficult topics without overwhelming listeners with heaviness. However, one potential downside is that some may find the podcast too emotional or triggering if they are currently dealing with grief themselves. It's important to approach each episode with sensitivity and be mindful of one's emotional well-being.
In conclusion, The Dare To Live Podcast is an incredible resource for anyone facing loss or looking to gain insight into the grieving process. Christine and Shelley should be commended for their willingness to share their experiences and provide support to others going through similar hardships. This show has become a must-listen for me, as it combines laughter, tears, and genuine compassion in a way that leaves a lasting impact on its audience.
