Withdrawing might seem like the peaceful, “Christian” alternative to conflict—but it's not. It's just another sneaky habit that keeps us stuck.

Do you feel frustrated, angry, or even explosive when life throws a wrench in your plans?Whether it's a canceled outing, a toddler meltdown, a shift in your husband's schedule, or something as simple as the store being out of what you need—those little moments can add up and leave you feeling defeated and reactive.In today's episode, I'm talking about how your thoughts in those moments are what make the situation better—or worse.You'll learn:How to spot the mindset that's triggering your angerA practical new thought to shift your perspective and calm your reactionA personal example from my own life (hello, rainy anniversary and restless toddler at church!)Why adaptability is one of the most powerful skills you can model for your kidsWhat to do if you struggle with yelling, slamming doors, criticism, or spiraling when things don't go your wayIf you want to stop letting external circumstances control your emotions and start responding with calm and clarity, this episode is for you.
Do you think it's impossible to find love again after losing your spouse? You will want to hear Becca's story this week!Becca's journey through sudden widowhood, parenting three children (each with unique stories of their own), rebuilding her life, and eventually finding love again is both humbling and inspiring.She speaks candidly about the reality of life after loss: solo parenting, making impossible decisions, and waking up in a new “normal” that never feels quite right. Despite feeling fiercely independent, Becca learned to let others in—both as support and, eventually, as friends and new family members.Here are three key takeaways from the episode:Be Vulnerable Enough to Ask for (and Accept) Help: Even someone as independent as Becca struggled to accept support. But she found that when she clearly listed what she needed—whether it was tree removal or meals—her network showed up in amazing ways. Giving others clear, simple ways to help makes a huge difference for everyone!Community & Connection are Non-Negotiable: Attending a widow's conference with Never Alone Widows seemed morbid and overwhelming to Becca at first—but it turned into a lifeline. She eventually created her own thriving widows group, reminding us all that “you're not alone.” Just one conversation or gathering can spark healing and friendship, even for those who think group support isn't their thing.New Beginnings Don't Negate Previous Love: Through patience, honesty, and intentional blending, Becca opened herself to a new relationship and family while continuing to honor the legacy of her late husband and everything they built together. It's a powerful reminder that it's possible to both grieve and embrace joy, sometimes at the same time. Becca's experience is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the beauty that can emerge from saying “yes”—even when it feels impossible.Becca's Instagram: @thewidowswalkTo join our 60 Days Of Summer Healing Quest For Widows and Widowers and GET YOUR FREE downloadable progress tracker, go to https://www.widow180.com/healingquest 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?

What if you wanted to make up your own rules for grieving and do what feels right for you? That's EXACTLY what Diane Easley decided to do. This is an incredibly honest and inspiring conversation with Diane Easley, who graciously shared her journey through widowhood after suddenly losing her husband, Walter, in 2017. I know you will enjoy it and all of the wisdom she shares!What “Doing Grief Your Own Way” Really Looks LikeDiane's story starts with the unexpected loss of her husband while he was away on a work trip in Florida—a devastating call that changed everything in an instant. What followed wasn't a prescribed script of grief, but a deeply mindful, authentic approach rooted in self-awareness and honoring what she needed, not what tradition or others expected.Diane's Approach to Grieving:Intentionality Over Expectations: Diane realized early on that there isn't a “right way” to mourn. Wearing black, lighting a candle at the one-year mark, and “moving on” wasn't the real answer! Documenting the Realness: She began sharing daily reflections on Instagram—sometimes about a broken watering can that brought her to her knees in grief, other days about the surprising moments of joy she allowed herself to feel.Setting Boundaries: Diane put a sign on her front door, politely asking visitors not to knock or ring the doorbell, but to quietly come in if the door was open. “It makes people be thoughtful when they show up,” she added—it was what she needed to feel safe and respected during her most vulnerable days.Be sure to check out the latest workbook in the Widow 180 Workbook series, The Boost Your Confidence Level After Loss Workbook available for immediate download now!If you are tired of feeling scared and letting fear run your life, this workbook is for you!Get it at https://widow180.kit.com/products/confidence 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?
