Let’s talk about it.Not about what we’ll do one day—but what we need to do now.They say love leaves a legacy, but what happens when we don’t prepare?Chaos takes root, healing is halted, division festers, and families fracture under the weight of conflict.Grieving and closure are replaced with endless to-do lists, financial pressure, and the burden of honoring a loved one’s life and protecting their assets with limited resources.As a mother, wife, daughter, sister, Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist, and Mental Health Advocate who’s walked through loss myself, this conversation is near and dear to my heart.This Special Edition of With Love, Gwen, entitled“Because You Love Them: Practical Steps to Give Your Family Permission to Grieve & Leave a Lasting Legacy,” featuring Dr. Towanda Davis, DMin, MACC, BA, does more than educate—it equips.Together, we unpack the tools and truths that help you love your family well, explore resources available to protect them, and discuss why these conversations are vital and must be normalized—because they protect peace, preserve dignity, and prevent chaos when life happens.This is more than a podcast.It’s a redefinition of love.A wake-up call.A removal of excuses.A conversation that can unlock generational wealth—mentally, emotionally, and financially.If you’ve ever said, “I’ll get to it one day,”—this is that day.Because true love goes far beyond simply living well.Real love is legacy-focused—and it plans ahead. ___Contact Gwen: gwen@healingforwardwellness.com | info@gwendolynjjones.comDr. Towanda Davis: davistowanda64@gmail.com

What happens when life pushes you to the edge? When the plan you were holding onto falls apart, and you’re left with nothing but grit, faith, and a divine idea that could change your life?

This episode of With Love, Gwen is a tribute to Miranda Cox Haskins—a visionary, a trailblazer, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change your story.

Miranda is the owner of Legacy Cakes & Courtesies in Goldsboro, NC—the woman who turned $1 cupcakes into an award-winning brand and a legacy that continues to inspire.

I was honored to sit with her and unpack what it really means to rebuild from the inside out. When life backed her into a corner, she didn’t crumble—she pivoted. With nothing but faith and her God-given gift, she built a successful business and a life she and her children genuinely love—completely from scratch.

This one’s for the woman who’s rebuilding, rediscovering herself, or finally giving herself permission to dream again.

Sis… if you’ve ever had to start over, question your worth, or wonder if your dream still matters—this one is for you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, misaligned, or uncertain about your next chapter, this episode will remind you of your power, your wisdom, and your ability to co-create a life of purpose and fulfillment.

On this episode of With Love, Gwen, I’m joined by the phenomenal Sarah L. Kent—a former astrophysicist turned Wild Soul Coach, and the creator and curator of the Dreamworks Project: a global initiative designed to help women reconnect with their soul-rooted dreams. She now lives off-grid on a narrowboat along the inland waterways of England, where she supports incredible women leaders in living extraordinary lives and helps women recover from burnout. Sarah is also a Professional Shamanic Practitioner, a Clean Language Facilitator, and an accredited Clean Coach for Leadership.

We talk about:

*Living lightly and nourishing your soul

*Why burnout often signals misalignment

*What your “wild soul” is—and what it knows

*How to set boundaries that feel good to you—and how boundary setting can help DEEPEN relationships

*The difference between goals and soul-rooted dreams—and how to give yourself permission to dream again.

This one’s deep, rich, and gently revolutionary.

I promise you, your future self will thank you for listening.

With love,

Gwen
