Do you wish the loneliness would go away once and for all?

Are you exhausted from making all the decisions by yourself?

Do you feel like you’re in survival mode, just trying to make it through the day and not lose your faith?

Are you scared to ask for help?

Would it be easier to be there for your kids if they understood what you’re going through?

I’m so glad you’re here! As you navigate life after loss, this podcast will help you model faith and courage for your children, make it through each day, and learn to let go of what you can't control.

Hi, I’m Shonna, a widow, mom, grandma, and Jesus follower. For seven years after becoming a widow, I battled loneliness in all the wrong ways.

When I suddenly became the sole decision-maker, I was lost and made some very bad decisions because I felt no one understood what I was going through and I wouldn’t dare be vulnerable and ask for help.

I finally realized if I was ever going to enjoy life again and model faith well for my family, I needed to find out who I was as an individual according to God’s design, then align my life with his purpose.

I started intentionally connecting with God each day and over the course of time, my mind was renewed and I became strong again. And now I am ready to share it with you!

So, if you're ready to overcome the loneliness you've felt since becoming a widow, learn some simple habits to strengthen your faith, and become the best you can be for your children...Grab a notebook and your favorite flashy pen and let’s dive in!
