In this powerful episode of the Wake the F*ck Up podcast, Alix sits down with Carolyn Moor, the founder of the Modern Widows Club, to discuss her personal journey through widowhood and how she transformed her pain into purpose. After losing her husband in a car accident, Carolyn made three promises to him: to prioritize their daughters, honor his name, and find love again. But her healing didn’t stop there.
Carolyn shares her inspiring shift from focusing solely on her children to embracing personal growth and healing. Through the Modern Widows Club, she leads an organization that offers hope, support, and empowerment to widows at all stages of their journey—focusing on health, growth, and leadership rather than just grief. Carolyn explains how the club advocates for widows to be included in important research and federal initiatives, ensuring their needs are met and recognized.
We recorded this episode on February 6th, and with Valentine’s day coming up, we know that can be a touch day for those who have lost a spouse or romantic partner. Carolyn talks to Alix about how she has turned Valentine’s Day into a meaningful day of giving back, showing how love can heal even the deepest wounds. She encourages widows to embrace the future and look beyond what they thought was possible for their lives. We know our listeners will be inspired by this powerful conversation about the journey of healing and personal transformation after loss.
Tune in to hear about Carolyn’s vision for the Modern Widows Club, the importance of self-love, and the transformative power of focusing on the future. You’ll take away fresh insights, hope, and actionable advice for healing.
