In this episode of The Widow Podcast, I talk with Orla Blackburn, holistic widow guide, yoga teacher and mother, about what it really means to invest in yourself after loss.
Orla shares how, seven years on from losing her husband, she’s found strength and self-belief through journaling, movement and meditation. We explore how yoga helped her reconnect with her body and emotions, how she’s learned to regulate her nervous system while parenting a neurodivergent child, and why small, consistent steps can lead to deep transformation.
We discuss:
&nbsp;•&nbsp;How grief and identity evolve over time
&nbsp;•&nbsp;Why investing in yourself is an essential part of healing
&nbsp;•&nbsp;The role of movement, journaling and mindfulness in recovery
&nbsp;•&nbsp;Parenting and self-regulation through grief
&nbsp;•&nbsp;The power of community and accountability
&nbsp;•&nbsp;Rebuilding confidence, purpose and peace after loss
It’s a grounded, compassionate conversation about healing and rediscovering who you are when life changes forever.
