In this episode of The Brave Widow Show, I sit down with Brad Morell, a licensed professional counselor and host of the Grief Observed Podcast.
 
Brad shares his journey from corporate life to counseling, his personal experiences with divorce and the death of a best friend, and how grief has shaped his calling to help others.
 
We explore:

 Why moving forward (not “moving on”) is essential in grief recovery
 The surprising science behind tears as healing 
 How family dynamics and expectations complicate the grieving process
 Why men are beginning to reach out for mental health support more than ever
 The power of Kaizen: small steps that change your life 

 
Brad and I also talk about the importance of faith, connection, and simply showing up for grieving friends.
 
✨ Whether you’re in the early stages of loss or years into your journey, this episode offers hope, perspective, and practical tools for healing.

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
