————————
Hey hey, 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

I really resonated with this episode. Thanks Emily & Shawn. I am sorry for your loss, Shawn. It was eye openning to get your insight into how you structure your Journaling. I look forward to applying your suggestions. I appreciated listening to your story. You both are refreshing to a widow's heart.❤️
