Episode 184 | Widowing in ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ Finland: Elaine Kรคrki

When someone has experienced divorce, infertility, childlessness, and widowhood by the age of 32, they might think their life is over. But not for Rosaline Orwa. Since then, she has been fighting for the rights of widows and orphans through making change in policy and education. She has beenย ย an advocate to stop the abuse of widows in the forms of literacy, education, community, and speaking up about many African communities' tradition of inheritance and cleansing - the cleansing ritual is an extremely humiliating exercise where any villager is randomly picked and paid to sleep with a widow without any form of protection in order to 'cleanse off death'.

Rosaline is founder and director of the RONA Foundation for empowerment of widows. To learn more, visit https://www.ronafoundation.co.ke/

"I'm sorry. There were no survivors." Nancy Saltzman tried to absorb the caller's words. Her entire family had perished in a small plane crash. The caller was wrong, though.

On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-year-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed and humbled by the creative and thoughtful ways their friends, family, and co-workers supported them. Kim started calling these kind actions โ€œacts of love.โ€
At work, she noticed how most managers are ill-prepared to support an employee (and their team) dealing with cancer, loss, or depression. She set out to change that. Kim now combines her personal experience with her knowledge as an HR professional and trainer and offers coaching and training programs that show managers and c-suite executives exactly what to say and what to do when a team is in crisis. Her unique strategies offer managers clear ways to provide empathy while simultaneously driving productivity.
Kim is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, a must-have guide for anyone who has a colleague, employee, or friend dealing with cancer, loss, or depression. The book is filled with 100 simple and effective ways to support a person in crisis.
Kim is also a sought-after speaker and HR consultant. She lives in LA and tries not to bother her three relatively well-behaved young adult children.

๐Ÿ…ด๐Ÿ…ฟ๐Ÿ…ธ๐Ÿ†‚๐Ÿ…พ๐Ÿ…ณ๐Ÿ…ด 165 | The Skeltons in Tiffanyโ€™s Closet. Literally.

Tiffany Skelton's story is a lot. Her husband suffered from long-term mental illnesses as they both parented their six children. Tiffany knows what it's like to become a widow from su***de, but that's not where her story ends. After becoming a widow, Tiffany experienced sexual assault as she was trying to date post-loss. Since then, she has learned a lot about herself, grief, and things to keep in mind while staying safe as a woman on the planet. She is on a mission to share her story in the hopes that it helps prevent things like this happening to someone else.

The title describes it all, and that's all you need to know.

But if you want to know more, Berkley has been widowed twice, plus her family has been through hell and back with things like (WARNING) r**e, drug use. Berkley helps others through their own s**t show, and she is an inspiration to all humans everywhere.

What's it like when you adopt two children as a young, married, same-sex couple in Canada, have one biological child, your wife dies of Leukemia, you remarry and have an alive husband who comes with five kids, you're technically a grandma, now you're a step-grandma, and you're only 45? Holly Wagg is here to tell you. Anita and Mel loved interviewing Holly and hearing her wild story.
