BW 170: From Chaos to Calm: Your First 5 Moves in Early Grief (That Actually Help)

If you’re widowed and feel like you’re drowning, this episode gives you a clear starting line. I walk through my RISE framework: the 4 Seasons of Grief (Rawness, Isolation, Self-Discovery, Empowerment) and the Chaos-to-Calm Blueprint (the 5 foundations I use with clients). 



 



You’ll leave knowing your very next step and where to get help, free or paid.



 



What you’ll learn 




•  How to identify your current season of grief using RISE (Rawness, Isolation, Self-Discovery, Empowerment)


•  The 5 foundations that stabilize you fast: Routine, Self-Care, Help, Emotional Healing, Spiritual Connection 


•  Why time alone doesn’t heal—and the action steps that do


•  Free ways to get support (Skool community, guides, quiz) and how to book a consult if you want hands-on help

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




 




•  Schedule a consult with Emily:  https://calendly.com/bravewidow/widow...




 



 



Find and take the next steps to move forward (without “moving on”).
