So That Just Happened...

So That Just Happened...

So That Just Happened is an honest exploration of what it’s like to lose your person and find yourself. I’m Carly Cooper, a mom/widow/coach/author/chronic truth seeker and my superpower is finding the funny, the hope and the silver lining in any sh*t situation. This podcast is filled with practical (and some woo-woo) tools that have helped me heal my broken heart and rewire my brain after experiencing the traumatic loss of my husband of 27 years. I’ll share mindset shifts, manifestation tips, compelling interviews, ways to open yourself up to love again and how to reinvent yourself in the most glorious, unapologetic way. Take what resonates and leave the rest! What I share on this show are my personal opinion and experiences. It’s not a diagnosis for treatment or a substitute for professional help. If you need further support or are struggling, please contact your local emergency service or call 9-1-1. Tune in every Wednesday for a new episode and please share with someone you feel it could help.

I had the honour of being a guest on Clare Garner’s Dare to Share Challenge—a podcast where leaders take the stage to share their stories with depth and vulnerability.

Each episode breaks down the walls of perception, diving into the human experience and showing that even admired role models are just as real and imperfect as the rest of us.

Here are the key points we covered in our conversation:

Losing your person, a close family member or a dear friend can feel devastating. But just because they are physically gone, doesn't mean their presence is.

There are many reasons people experience grief.

The death of a loved one, divorce, changes in your health, job loss, or even the death of a dream that never came to be.

I think it’s safe to say we all have or have had reason to feel grief in our life. 

The bigger questions are, have you properly dealt with it?

Have you unpacked the feelings both emotional and physical that grief can evoke?

Are you even aware that what you may b...

Relationships, at the best of times, can be challenging. But being in a new relationship after losing your person, can feel like a next-level kind of challenge.  

Healthy relationships take patience, understanding, compassion, mutual respect, great communication and of course love and connection.

But, in my opinion, you can’t get to this relationship nirvana, without knowing who you truly are first.
