In this week's episode, Karen and Destinee discuss statistics and experiences alongside widowhood, in honor of National Widows Day-May 3, 2023.

In this week's episode, Karen and Destinee invite Laurice Duffy. Laurice is a mother, widow, life coach, and author. She shares her experience of becoming a widow after losing her husband Kevin in April 2018, navigating raising 4 teenage boys, and not losing sight of who she wanted her future self to be.  Laurice wrote an amazing book called "Raising Hope".  Purchase her book today!

A reviewer writes: "Coping with trauma in life is heart-wrenching. Learning to regain a positive sense of self in the aftermath of tragedy can be difficult. Laurice Duffy shares her own journey through her husband's devastating ALS diagnosis and her ability to use instances in her life to shape a positive future for herself and her four young sons after his death. But her book, Raising Hope, is much more than her own story. She offers vignettes that center on achieving things like hope, faith, truth, and blessings even in the face of hardship"

In this week's episode, Karen and Destinee remember someone who was an intricate part of the Widows in Motion/RAW: Real Authentic Widows Podcast community.  They also talk about International Womens Day observed on March 8 and the importance of empowering one another.
