Podcast Description: What happens when grief, racism, financial crisis, and trauma arrive not one at a time — but all at once? Christopher Dale knows that answer intimately, reach him at christopherdale@lifeaftergrieffp.com

In this powerful episode, the author of Life After Grief: Holding the Numbers With Shaking Hands joins us to share how being thrust into caregiving as a young man — and enduring losses that nearly broke him — ultimately became the foundation for a calling to guide others. He has learned a tremendous amount from his widowed clients and it has shaped who he is today and how he practices financial planning.

This is a conversation about survival, clarity, and the surprising goodness of people when life falls apart.

Guest Bio: Christopher is a financial advisor, author, and grief-informed advocate who has dedicated his career to meeting clients at the intersection of emotional trauma and financial transition. His book, Life After Grief: Holding the Numbers With Shaking Hands — When Money, Trauma, Grief, and Racism Collide, traces the hard-won lessons of his journey and the clarity that emerged from it.

A sought-after trainer of financial advisors, Christopher teaches others to recognize and honor the grieving styles of their clients — understanding that how someone processes loss shapes every financial decision they make. We are honored to have him as an active 3rd year Ambassador Council member at Modern Widows Club | The Movement for Widow Care®.

What does innovation have to do with widowhood?

More than you might think. In this compelling conversation, HWHW/ hosted by Modern Widows Club Founder Carolyn Moor welcomes Dr. Jacqueline Byrd — twice-widowed innovator, business consultant, and author of The Innovation Equation and Voice of the Innovator — for a deeply personal and insightful discussion on how the principles of creativity and risk-taking can help widows navigate their way into a new life.

Drawing from her 25 years of experience helping organizations innovate and her own experience losing two husbands, Dr. Byrd shares a powerful framework for understanding widowhood not as an ending, but as an invitation to live more courageously and intentionally. She explores how learning to sit with ambiguity, trust your inner voice, build resilience, and practice self-acceptance are not just tools for business innovation — they are the very qualities that help widows find their way forward.

Whether you are in the early fog of loss or further along in your journey, this episode will leave you with a new lens for understanding the courage it takes to rebuild — and a quiet reminder that the strength to find your way home has been with you all along.

Topics covered: creativity, risk-taking, resilience, self-acceptance, navigating ambiguity, and finding your voice after loss.

What happens when widows pray for widows? In this soul-stirring episode of Healthy Widow Healthy Woman, host Carolyn Moor connects with two extraordinary Wisters® (widow+sisters) — Dixie Keller and Karen Turner, Chair of the MWC Prayer Team — to explore one of the most intimate dimensions of healing: spiritual health in widowhood.

Together, they unpack how grief reshapes faith, how the Modern Widows Club Prayer Team was born, and why a widow praying alongside another widow carries a weight that no other support quite matches.

You'll learn how the MWC Prayer Request Line works, what widows most often bring to prayer, and how a team of faithful women expanded their intercession from individual grief to the entire Movement for Widow Care®.
