Episode 1: Welcome to The Widow’s Collective
Where grief meets hope, healing, and community

Welcome to the very first episode of The Widow’s Collective. I’m Lauren Lentz — grief coach, fellow widow, and the heart behind this space. If your life has been turned upside down by the death of your person, you are not alone. This podcast is a safe space for widows living in the “after,” where we name the ache, honor the love, and share tools, truths, and stories to support you along the way.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why I started this podcast, and how vulnerability became the foundation for connection.
• Reflections on fear, grief, and hope — and how to give yourself permission to live fully while grieving.
• What to expect from The Widow’s Collective: short, weekly episodes that meet you where you are, with guided exercises, conversations with other widows and grief professionals, and practical tools for navigating life after loss.

Who this podcast is for:
Widows navigating life after loss — whether you’re in the early days of grief, finding your rhythm again, or living with the quiet presence of grief years later. This is a space for honest reflection, comfort, and community.

What’s next:
In the next episode, My Story & My Why, I’ll share more about my personal journey, what inspired me to start this podcast, and why I feel called to create this space for widows.
