Season 3 - Journey to Wholeness Episode 13

Ioana tells about the realities of loosing her spouse so early at 29 years old and the effects it has on the type of parenting a grieving parent can be, which sadly is a flawed one and not necessarily the best version of ourselves.

Ioana tells us about her journey to discover what being a happy single mom looks like.

We talk about finding some silver linings in widowhood and facing the reality becoming single again. Moving from ‘why’ mentality to ‘now what’ and making a new reality or a version of life that we like. We also share about dating and laundry services and how her mindset has changed in relation to delegation and outsourcing, it really does takes a community. She leaves us with powerful words re framing her mindset and encourages us to all to dream new BOLD dreams.
