I met Petra a few years ago, and invited her to speak on my StoryShare stage. Her passion and power immediately blew me away and I knew we would always stay connected.

What brought her onto the RISE podcast however, was her personal story of love, loss and resilience…

About Petra… After my husband died, I didn’t want to be called a widow. He passed unexpectedly at the young age of 42, and my entire world turned upside down. I never saw it coming.

Every woman experiences widowhood differently. I was 38 when I lost my husband, and it felt impossible to imagine life without him. But over time I discovered a strength within me I never knew I had.

Within the first year after my husband died, I was able to: Pay off all our debt Settle his estate Purchase a new home Self-publish my first book Launch my coaching practice I realized I can move forward with my life, even while I’m still knee-deep in my grief.

I can experience happiness again. And you can, too. Follow Petra at – https://petraegordon.com/
