Perhaps you feel you would like to find your way out of the widow fog - the stuck place, but have no idea how to "Dare to Begin."  I can help you through that so you do not reflect back on your life 5 years down the road and feel you wasted so many good years stuck in your life after the loss of your spouse.  Widows know only too well how precious every day is, so do not waste another day, another week - do not waste years feeling stuck and frozen in time.  Dare to Begin.  You can schedule that free mini session with me at http://talktojoann.com or email me at joann@joannthelifecoach.com

Ep 12: What Are Your Basic Needs and Priorities?

Widows often find great gaps in their support structure of daily life.  As a life coach, I've helped others look at their priorities and needs so they can start building a plan for their life.  Widows especially  need this.  After the initial shock of losing your spouse, you begin to move out of the fog of those early days and weeks and wonder “what’s next?” Today I share with you one of the tools you can use to begin discovering what you want and need in your life.  email:  Joann@joannthelifecoach.com  Website:  http://joannthelifecoach.com
