Episode Synopsis


What do you do when you want more... but you don’t know exactly what that means yet?
 
In this episode of the Brave Widow Show, I’m sharing a deeply personal journey about taking action even when the path ahead isn’t fully clear. About saying “yes” when logic says wait. About trusting that you’re being led... even when you’re scared.
 
This is for the widow (or grieving woman) who:

 Can’t see a future she wants yet
 Feels stuck, numb, or like she’s just going through the motions
 Has a whisper of desire... but no plan
 Needs permission to dream again even without clarity

 
💬 Inside, I talk about:

 The lie of needing a “5-year plan” to move forward
 The moment I said yes to something I couldn’t define
 How every big shift in my life started with one small, scary step
 Why the Brave Widow Academy is designed for this exact season

 
✨ If you feel lost—but know you’re not meant to stay where you are—this episode is for you.

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
