Episode Description
In this solo episode, Michelle Bader Ebersole shares a personal update on where she is more than six years after losing her husband, Luke, why she's feeling called to shift her focus, and what's next for Widow Goals and beyond. She talks about the reality that grief doesn't disappear—it changes. And while healing isn't about "getting over it," it is about learning to move forward with hope.
Michelle also shares a few recent moments that caught her off guard emotionally, why community matters so much, and why she believes authenticity is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and others.
