Welcome to the Her Two Cents Podcast where your hosts Laura Webb and Faith Doyle come together as two female financial advisors with over 40 years of collective experience to provide a multigenerational perspective on all things money. Our goal is that through these conversations, we can normalize the way women talk about and view money. Did you know that the AVERAGE age for a woman to be widowed is 59 years old? Yes, widowhood is one of the fastest growing demographics for women. Losing your spouse or partner changes EVERY aspect of your life: financial, sexual, and societal. Our guest, Donna Marie Todd, is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and the author of a new book: "Navigating Loss: A Survival Guide for the Newly Widowed" and she is the founder of "A Widows Tale." She reveals her own personal journey, discloses what happens to our brains when we have experienced this type of trauma, and lets us know how financial decisions could impact our emotional recovery. This is worth a listen in case it happens to you or so you can share with a widow in your life. You can find Donna Marie Todd’s programs, podcast and blogs at http://awidowstale.com/
