Doing Different with Kimmie Ep. 37 Carolyn Cochran the author of Widows in The Bible; How God Provides & Protects shares her deep grief









Carolyn Cochran is a woman who has walked through deep grief after the loss of her husband, but she found hope in discovering God's promises for widows.

She pours her heart into encouraging widows and women in all stages of life who are navigating their own "different."




In her book "Widows In the Bible: How God Provides & Protects," she talks about stepping into a "new normal," learning to trust God one step at a time, leaning into Scripture, and believing that better days are ahead.




Inside, you will embark on a journey of:


Dealing with Changes




Learning from the Bible




Holding onto Hope




Finding Happiness Again




Turning Pain into Positivity

Perfect for a small group Bible study, where the conversations will be rich and a source of encouragement to you in your journey of grief.




You don't have to walk this journey alone. With resources, support groups, and real stories from people who understand, you can find happiness even through the toughest times.

Doing Different with Kimmie Ep. 38 Cindy DiPrisco Lopez a writer, blogger, journaling workshop leader, and a woman who decided that midlife wasn’t an ending… it was an invitation


 
Welcome back to Doing Different with Kimmie, the podcast where we explore the stories of women who choose to rewrite the script, reclaim their voice, and step boldly into the next chapter of their lives.

Today’s guest is someone who embodies that spirit beautifully — Cindy DiPrisco Lopez.

She’s a writer, blogger, journaling workshop leader, and a woman who decided that midlife wasn’t an ending… it was an invitation. She always was a late bloomer, so she feels midlife at 50 was just about right for her.

Engulfed by her own midlife burnout and her chronic health issues from birth, she realized taking care of everyone else was stealing her health and her joy.


Cindy has written "When The Clock Strikes Midlife;" It's Your Turn to Shine is an interactive weekly journal that will cultivate your midlife awakening with its inspiring and motivating exercises:
52 Original Quotes and Affirmations to inspire you and clarify your thoughts.

Thought-provoking writing prompts to motivate you to act.
Insightful poems to contemplate and find meaning in their message.
Therapeutic coloring pages to relax your brain and reduce anxiety.
'52 Adventures' Idea Board to ignite joy and purpose in your (mid) life.
