Life Beyond Loss: Discovering Yourself Again

In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I'm joined by Debbie Dawson, mentor, retreat supporter and treasured community member, to talk about life beyond loss and what it truly means to live fully again after grief.

Debbie shares her widow journey from joining the community in 2020, two and a half years after losing her husband suddenly in 2018, to where she is now, seven years on and living with a sense of freedom, purpose and excitement about the future she never thought possible. We explore how the shift from grief work to life work happened through Vibrant Living and the transformative Rise and Renew retreat, and why discovering hidden parts of yourself after loss can be both surprising and liberating.

We discuss:

• The transition from surviving to thriving and living fully after widowhood
• How Vibrant Living and Rise and Renew created profound shifts in healing
• Discovering that it's a new connection with yourself, not just reconnection
• Moving from "second best life" to "my best life" as a widow
• Living with conscious intent and presence after losing your partner
• Why grief and life journeys become intertwined rather than separate
• The power of widow community, energy and being under one roof
• Finding permission to live without fear of the future
• Building trust in your inner compass after loss
• Creating a legacy you're proud of

It's an uplifting conversation about transformation, self-discovery, rebuilding after loss, and the beautiful truth that anything is possible when you're ready to do the work.
