From Loss to Legacy: A Widow's Journey with Michelle Hensley

Design your legacy with confidence at www.designurlegacy.com! Are you ready to shape your legacy based on your values?  -How do you rebuild as a widow, after age 50, when you have been out of the workforce over a decade and there are two teenagers at home? What if there are funds for other sectors of society, but “the widows” are left in quiet loss having to figure it out on their own so they don’t become impoverished in 3-5 years?  What if a woman still wants to plan her legacy, even if her husband is no longer around? How does she find her sea legs again?   In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Michelle Hensley, a former pastor’s wife in Orange County, California (USA) to unpack how she leveraged her 3:30am prayer time for ideas when she was left alone, unable to relate to married couples and having to find a new way forward.  They contrast her success today to the many emotional as well as financial challenges as stepping stones. Tune in to hear how determination allowed for her $300,000+ plus luxury gift wrapping business that serves clients such as Versace, KKW (Kim Kardashian, Coach, Justin and Hailey Bieber as well as The White House.
