Thriving as a Widow with Julie Foster

How do you reset your life when your world is turned upside down? We all hope that the loss of a partner is something we will never have to face. In times gone by we would have been expected to put on our widows weeds and be defined by our widowhood forever. Drawing on her own experience, Julie Foster helps women survive and then thrive after being widowed via her facebook group, “A Widow’s Hats”. In this uplifting conversation, Julie advocates embracing your one precious life by saying yes - as often and as adventurously as possible! About the Midlife and Beyond Podcast.  Like all transitions, midlife can be messy and sad and glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone and somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to?  I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50, and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives.  The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.  email [email protected] to take part in the podcast or suggest guests.  See The Midlife & Beyond section of my website for more information and resources to help you navigate change with less stress and more joy! www.joblackwell.co.uk
