Tina Murphy guides widows in creating a spending plan so they can enjoy life today while being relaxed about their financial future and she joins us on the Filled With Gold Widow Podcast!

In 2013, Tina’s husband Jamie, suddenly died, leaving her to raise her 2 young boys. The loss of her husband led her to turn to online shopping as a reprieve from the intense pain.

Tina’s healing process began to flourish when she learned how to actually process her pain. As she made peace with her grieving process, Tina was able to take control of her spending.  She began using her money to buy items that brought her joy while also being mindful of her financial future.

Tina then made it her mission to support other widows going through the same healing process. She is a certified life coach for widows through the Life Coach School and an active member of Coach Connections, an international money coaching community. With 25+ years of personal finance teaching experience and her new educational training, she created her Next Level Widow Coaching program!

On this episode, Tina and I chat about:

Numbing out TV and online shopping to try and feel better after her husband’s death How life coach certification changed her life Processing feelings vs. toxic positivity Learning to feel the emotions that come up The powerful tool she uses to to help widows understand and process emotions to move forward
