Listen "BW 151: Are You Waiting on God… or Just Avoiding Your Life?"
Episode Synopsis
So many widows say: 💭 “I’m just waiting on God to send the right people...” 💭 “I’m praying for connection and healing…”
But after months—or even years—of waiting… nothing changes.
In this episode of the Brave Widow Show, Emily shares the critical difference between faith and action.
You’ll learn:
✅ How trauma puts your body into fight-or-flight—and keeps you stuck ✅ Why praying alone won’t rebuild your life ✅ What taking aligned action actually looks like (without forcing it) ✅ Real-life stories of healing, connection, and courage ✅ How to know if it’s time to act (and how coaching helps)
If you're tired of feeling stuck and are ready to feel alive again… this episode is for you.

————————
Hey hey, I’m Emily Tanner. I was widowed at age 37, one month shy of our 20 year wedding anniversary. Nathan and I have four beautiful children together, and my world was turned completely upside down when I lost him.
Now, I love my life again! I’m able to experience joy, achieve goals and dreams I thought I’d lost, and rediscover this next version of me.
I did the work.
I invested in coaching for myself.
I learned what I needed to do to move forward and took the steps.
I implemented the tools and strategies that I use for my clients in my coaching program.
This is for you, if:
You want a faith-based approach to coaching
You want to move forward after loss, and aren’t sure how
You want to enjoy life without feeling weighed down by guilt, sadness, or regret
You want a guide to help navigate this journey to the next version of you
You want to rediscover who you are
