Join us today for Part 1 of this heartfelt episode of Widow 180 as I sit down with guest Courtney Pray Duke for an incredibly raw and honest conversation about sudden loss, the journey through early widowhood, and finding faith in the darkest moments.Episode Highlights:Becoming a widow at just 29, Courtney was left to raise their kids alone.What the immediate aftermath of loss feels like. How "there's no way to plan for" that moment.Facing birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas just weeks after Andrew's death. Courtney remembers her friend posting a note that read "just today" as a reminder to survive moment by moment.The struggle of parenting through personal heartbreak shines through: “Not only is your heart broken, but it's broken for your children on a whole other level. And that is probably the worst pain in the world.”Key Takeaways:The trauma of sudden loss creates a world that is both foreign and disorienting—there is no preparation, no handbook, and few words of comfort in those first hours and days.Honest conversations about how to talk to children about tragedy, and the unique pain of not being able to protect or fix their heartbreak, are central to the episode.Gratitude for the community, even in chaos.Tune into these first 35 minutes of our interview for a touching, authentic look at grief, faith, and the power of vulnerability during life's hardest seasons.

AI is everywhere right now, but most of what you see is noise: silly videos, ChatGPT-generated captions that scream "a robot wrote this," or tech bros flexing workflows that have zero real-world application for service businesses. So when I found Sam Howell, I knew she was different.Sam Howell, also known as AI with Sam, is an AI strategist and CEO of Intevo AI who teaches entrepreneurs how to replace up to 70% of their busywork with AI. No coding or tech background required. She's spoken on over 150 stages, she's a mom of two, and she built her business around creating genuine freedom, not just tech tricks. She'll be delivering a keynote at the Mobile Bev. Pros Conference in February, and this episode gives you a sneak peek of what's to come.In this conversation, we cut through the AI hype and get into what actually matters: how AI can take tasks off your plate that you're not even doing right now because you don't have the time, the budget, or the bandwidth. We're talking lead-to-speed response, intelligent DM automation, content systems, and the crucial balance between automation and authenticity.In this episode, you'll hear:Why the "AI bro" approach to automation (think: banana-gorilla videos) is useless for service businessesWhat AI "employees" actually are and how they're different from basic chatbotsThe five buckets of your time that AI can take over (without replacing your human touch)How lead-to-speed can make or break your bookings and why AI helps you respond firstThe ManyChat vs. intelligent conversational AI difference (and why it converts 30-40% better)Why Sam owns it when people ask "is this AI?" and how that builds trust instead of breaking itThe line between delegating to AI and losing your magic, and how to avoid "flat brand" syndromeWhy your voice, face, and relationships still matter more than ever in an AI worldWhat to expect from Sam's keynote: the 5 AI employees every business should haveResources & Links:Connect with Sam: Website: https://aiwithsam.comInstagram: @aiwithsamGet tickets for the Mobile Bev.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a very real, very challenging solo-parenting week while my husband was out of town. It was one of those stretches where everything seemed to happen at once:My daughter was dropping things, spilling things, and making messes that required me to intervene again and again.Her emotional reactions were intense and frequent.Bedtime stretched out because she kept coming out of her room—multiple times.And I was navigating it all alone for days.Instead of spiraling into frustration or snapping (which is what the old me would've done), I leaned hard into the mindset shifts I've intentionally practiced. In this episode, I walk you through, the exact thoughts I used in real time to stay grounded when I had hard moment after hard moment. If you've ever wondered how mindset work actually shows up behind the scenes in everyday motherhood, this episode will give you a real-life example of how powerful it truly is.Want to work on your mindset in motherhood?If you know you need a better attitude, more emotional control, or the ability to take your thoughts captive in the moment, join my Renewed Mindset Course releasing this January.

What to do when you're in the messy middle of grief? Sandi Waters' story highlights the complex challenges—and unexpected sources of strength—faced by widows.In this episode, she candidly describes the overwhelming experience of watching her partner's abilities slip away, caring for him, and the support she received from Rodney's family and their adult daughter, who moved in to help.Sandi and I talk about:Faith as Anchor: how faith became her main source of strength, especially in the darkest moments. She speaks openly about wrestling with anger, asking “why,” and ultimately trusting that something bigger was at work.The Messy Middle of Grief: the ongoing challenges of widowhood—the fear of being alone, learning to manage a household independently, and the uncertain “middle” phase of grief where the future feels unclear.Finding Community & Healing: Support from children, friends, church family, and fellow widows proved essential. Sandi also found solace and inspiration in the Widow 180 Podcast and started her own YouTube channel to document Rodney's journey and help others facing dementia and loss.Giving Back & Looking Forward: She stepped out of her comfort zone with solo travels and is now leading a GriefShare group, discovering purpose in helping others. She emphasizes that healing comes from connection and support, not rushing the process.Key Takeaways:Everyone's grief journey is unique—there is no timeline for healing.Sharing stories and hearing from others who “get it” is crucial for widows feeling isolated.Allowing yourself to feel, to cry, and not judge your progress is important in the messy middle of grief.Faith, community, and giving back can become lifelines through the darkness.Practical steps—getting affairs in order, accepting help, and finding new routines—make the path a bit easier.Supporting others through grief (like leading support groups) can offer light, purpose, and even hope for the future.Tune in to this episode for honest wisdom, real encouragement, and a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, hope and healing are possible.Connect with Sandi:Follow her journey and support others facing Alzheimer's and widowhood on her YouTube channel: @thewaters9111Join The Widow 180 Holiday Club here: https://www.widow180.com/holidayclub Be sure to join our Facebook group, Widow 180 The Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/312036956454927Also follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/widow_180/Check us out on YouTube at Widow 180: The Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-DK_dl31qMilJ5cE6t9MVQFor more blog posts and resources go to www.widow180.comQuestions?

"I wanted the TV version of cancer". This week, guest Christine Fader talks openly about the realities of illness and loss, what real support looks like, and reveal the complexities of navigating life after the death of a spouse. From the challenges of anticipatory grief and survivor's guilt to harnessing rage for positive impact, Christine offers insight, hope, and actionable advice for anyone on this hard journey.7 Key Takeaways from today are:The Reality of Long Illness & Loss: Christine's experience caring for Michael shatters expectations set by popular media, highlighting the unpredictable, deeply painful, and sometimes traumatic reality of terminal illness and caregiving.Navigating Guilt and Regret: Christine candidly discusses feelings of guilt and regret about the choices made in Michael's final months, and shares how she learned to make peace with decisions that were out of her control.The Importance of Honest Conversations: Avoiding conversations about death to protect a partner's hope often leads to missed opportunities for deeper connection. Christine encourages listeners to have open, meaningful discussions—even if they feel uncomfortable.Unexpected Impact of Grief: Even with preparation and anticipatory grief, the shock and physical consequences of losing a spouse—difficulty reading, headaches, disrupted sleep and eating patterns—can be overwhelming. Recognizing these as normal can help with processing the experience.Seeking Support and Connection: Christine highlights the value of widow support groups, online communities, and social media as lifelines, especially for those who might otherwise isolate. Finding others who “get it” is essential.Harnessing Rage for Good: Fueled by anger over Michael's suffering and trauma, Christine turned her rage into action by volunteering and advocating for trauma-informed cancer care and awareness—showing how channeling negative emotions can lead to positive change.Finding Purpose Through Advocacy and Legacy: Christine's work—creating a scholarship in Michael's name and sharing their story with cancer care professionals—reflects the power of transforming personal tragedy into support and hope for others.Listen in for inspiration, practical advice, and heartfelt wisdom—whether you're grieving, caring, or seeking ways to make a difference.

Today we dive deep into the often-unspoken "downside" of being too strong after the loss of a spouse. This episode explores what happens when widows feel pressured to always put on a brave face for their families—and the hidden costs of doing so. We talk about the importance of letting go of the constant need for strength and to make space for true healing.3 Main Takeaways from today are:It's Okay to Show Vulnerability: Many widowed moms are always trying to be strong for the children, but need to realize that allowing them to see pain could help their healing, too. Modeling vulnerability gives permission for others—especially children—to process their own feelings.The Cost of Suppressing Grief: How striving to "just endure" and pushing down emotions is not sustainable. Carrying unprocessed feelings can lead to numbness and anxiety, making true healing much harder.Strength Isn't Always What Heals: While resilience is important, authentic healing comes from allowing yourself to grieve, mourn, and feel—instead of simply performing strength for others. It's crucial to make time to face grief, ask for support, and let go of the guilt that so many widows carry.Tune in for this honest conversation that reminds us strength doesn't mean ignoring our own pain—and that real healing begins with permission to be vulnerable.Get the latest workbook in the Widow 180 Workbook Series, The Let Go Of Guilt Workbook today and start releasing the burden and weight of the guilt you've been carrying.

This is part four in the series Truth in Love: The Courage to Correct and Be Corrected.Correction isn't easy—and when we step into it, it's tempting to slip into the role of “fixer,” as if it's our job to make someone else change. But scripture reminds us that's not our role. We are called to speak the truth in love, with gentleness and humility, while entrusting the outcome to God.In this episode, Jill unpacks:Why posture matters more than having the perfect wordsThe dangers of superiority, anger, shame, and control in correctionHow humility and prayer prepare us to speak safelyPractical ways correction can happen—words, observations, questions, or boundariesWhat it looks like to release the outcome and trust God with the growthCorrection isn't about playing God—it's about love that restores, truth that sets free, and trust in the One who changes hearts.Join the Interest List for The Happiest Lives Academy 2026 at myhappyvault.com.When you sign up, you'll get free access to my upcoming live workshop, From Stuck to Surrendered: Recovering the Lost Art of Feeling, plus an exclusive opportunity to receive a deep discount on the Academy when enrollment opens in November.
