Grief changes everything—but what if it could also ignite a path to purpose?

In this episode of The Widow Empowerment Project, Andy Dziedzic and Megan LeBarron welcome Emily Tanner, who shares her personal story of loss and how it inspired her to create Brave Widow, a transformative community for widows navigating life after loss.

Brave Widow isn’t just about healing—it’s about empowering widows with practical tools, emotional support, and a network of like-minded women to help them rebuild meaningful lives.

If you or someone you know is facing grief, this conversation offers a lifeline of hope and a roadmap for recovery.

Talking points include:

• 
  
• Grief Is Overwhelming but Surmountable: Widows should not face grief alone. Accessing supportive resources like Brave Widow can ease emotional and logistical burdens.
  
• Start Small, Take Steps Forward: Even small actions can lead to meaningful progress. The Brave New Widow Workbook offers practical guidance for managing life’s new challenges.
  
• Leverage Tools and Community: Coaching, resources, and a supportive community can dramatically accelerate the path from loss to renewal.
  
• And more!
