Tawny opens up in this raw and deeply moving episode on love, loss, and the strength it takes to rebuild. After losing her husband to alcoholism, she was left navigating a storm of grief, anger, and the weight of showing up for her children while finding herself again. Tawny gets real about the heartbreak of watching someone you love struggle, the emotions no one talks about, and the long, messy fucking road to healing.
You know that feeling when life shatters, and you’re left picking up the pieces? When grief isn’t just sadness, but rage, exhaustion, and everything in between? Tawny does. Her story is about resilience, rediscovery, and learning to move forward without guilt. She found strength in her children, clarity in her pain, and a path to healing that wasn’t about forgetting—but about honoring love while choosing herself.
So take a deep breath and hit play. Tawny’s story is honest, heartbreaking, and full of hope. If you’ve ever struggled with loss, anger, or the question of how to start over—this one’s for you.
