Carolyn Moor is such a force for widow advocacy. She is honored to represent widows around the world and I’m honored to have her on the Filled With Gold Widow Podcast!
Carolyn is the Founder and Development Director of Modern Widows Club. Widowed on Valentine’s Day 2000 and with two young daughters to raise solo. Carolyn struggled to find the mentors she needed to model the healing and growth she desperately sought in the stage of widowhood. This ultimately led to the founding of Modern Widows Club in Carolyn’s very own living room in 2011.
Carolyn is a TEDxOakland speaker and bereavement consultant. She has participated in the UN Women Commission on the Status of Women, the Global Leadership Network, and she has been featured as a model of resilience in the Wall Street Journal, the Oprah Winfrey Show and numerous other women’s health media broadcasts. Her work on behalf of widows is recognized nationally and internationally.
Carolyn is the host of the Healthy Widow Healthy Woman Podcast and ecourse curriculum developer at the WESOT Widow Empowerment School of Thought.
On this episode, Carolyn and I chat about:
- Her husband Chad’s death and the aftermath
- Solo-parenting her two daughters
- The re-traumatizing event that led Carolyn to rebuild
- The “Oprah Effect”
- Starting Modern Widows Club in her living room
- Widowhood = Women’s health issue & a human rights issue!
- Her work, advocating for widows all over the world
“There’s this camaraderie between widows that is so powerful, even when so little is said.” - Carolyn Moor
