"Grief doesn't end - it evolves. And so do we.” - Rebecca Ann

Well hello there, lovely.

I'm back - and let me tell you, this comeback wasn't exactly planned.

The truth is, life hit me with a surprise grief wave, and I had to stop, breathe, and ride it out.

You see, over the past few months I've been moving out of the home my late husband Les and I built together. After 25 years of living, loving, and dreaming under that roof, I made the brave (and wildly emotional) decision to downsize and get the house ready to rent.

Episode 18: Welcome to Life 2.0 Pep Talks - The Next Chapter

And whew.... I wasn't ready for what would stir up.

As the pictures came down and the furniture disappeared, the house started to echo. Literally. And emotionally. It sounded like how my heart has felt since Les died - empty and unfamiliar. I sat on the floor, surrounded by memories, and just sobbed.

Because the house wasn't just bricks and mortar. It was us.

And taking it apart piece by piece? It was like deconstructing a life we built together. Beautiful, sacred, gut-wrenching stuff.

That moment reminded me: grief doesn't go away. It just shows up in different ways as we grow. And sometimes, even when you think you've got it all together, it smacks you sideways.

So, I hit pause....

And focused on processing it all. I let myself feel. I let myself be still. And when I felt ready...... I got back up.

Stronger. Wiser. And a little more grounded in what comes next.

Which brings me to this exciting update.......

My podcast is growing up.

Widow Pep Talks is now called Life 2.0 Pep Talks with Rebecca Ann.

Because while widowhood shaped me, it's not the whole story anymore. And I know it's not the whole story for you either.

This podcast is still short, sweet, and packed with encouragement - but now it reflects where we're going, not just where we've been. It's for resilient women (yes, you!) who are ready to heal, grow, and redesign life on their own terms.

We still honour the hard stuff.

But we're also going to talk joy. Purpose. Community. Moving house. Travelling. Rebuilding identity. Setting goals. Feeling good in your own skin again. You know - living.

If that sounds like your jam, I'd love for you to tune in and subscribe. And if you're craving connection with other women on the same path, come join us in the Redesign Your Life Community - you'll find the link below.

This isn't just a podcast relaunch.

It's a gentle nudge that no matter how messy your "next chapter" looks, you're not alone. I'm right here with you. Just two steps ahead.

Here's to Life 2.0 - let's build it, one brave step at at time.
