Hey friend , I know I know I have not been very consistent with these episodes , but I Tell you what this fight with cancer has had me feeling a little Defeated lately , until my most recent trip to podcast , which I think has turned things around for me a little bit . First , let me tell you about podcast .
It's basically a convention for podcasters where you can learn from the best of the best and Discover all the latest and greatest in the podcasting world . This was my second year at podcast , so I was on a mission . I went in wanting to learn ways to get my podcast more recognized so I can basically leave my mark on the world Before my time is up .
I mean , how do I spread my message of living happily even after loss to as many people as possible ? But what I learned was I Am holding myself back , I Am not being authentic , I Am not giving you my truest self , I Am not telling my whole story . I have realized that I do tend to leave some things out and I'm not always detailed enough .
However , there are some things in my life that I am not willing to share publicly . I Even feel like I've been sugarcoating things a little . I've been holding back what I really want to say , because I'm afraid of rejection , I'm afraid of losing my listeners and I'm afraid of losing all 350 of my followers now .
I know that it's not that many , but hey , delusion has caught me this far , so I'm just gonna keep going and , with that being said , you're gonna see some changes in my content and what you hear . I know I'm gonna offend some people and I'm probably gonna get some backlash for it , but I'm not going to apologize for how I feel . So I'm ready .
What do I have to lose ? I've already lost so much . I just don't want to lose myself in this process . So here's what's to come .
First of all , I have a website now Yay and you can check it out at wwwwidowyourwaycom , and the first thing you're gonna notice is that I'm open for business , but Not really business business , because if you have been following me , you know that I Decided not to start the HR consulting business for grief in the workplace due to my cancer diagnosis .
But I Am offering more ways for you to connect with me . You can now schedule a call to chat with me about whatever you want . You can also ask me anything , you can share your story and you can be featured on the podcast , my social media or my blog , which will be coming later .
I am also super excited that I will now be speaking at events and I will also be offering some workshops soon for the podcast . I'm not sure if I'm gonna be breaking down the podcast and seasons anymore , because I'm feeling like this is my final season in life and , honestly , I'm not sure how much it even matters to listeners anyway .
But , most importantly , you're gonna hear more honest opinions from me , and remember these are my opinions and I don't speak for every widow . We all have different life experiences that shape how we grieve , and there are lots of great widow podcasts out there and mine may not be for you , and that's okay .
You're also gonna see me guessing more on other podcasts , where I am finding that others tend to pull little surprises out of me that I've never thought about sharing before . And , lastly , I'm gonna start doing interviews .
I am gonna be interviewing other widows and I am gonna be finding people who are dedicated to helping you move forward in life , not just in grief . I want you to know that being a widow is only one part of your life journey because , after all , love is not dead , just your husband , you .
