22. Life on the Other Side of Loss | Linsday Aho’s Story of Being a Young Widow, Mom of 2, & Rebuilding Her Life Completely

In this episode of Girlfriend's Guide to Midlife podcast, I’m sitting down with my amazing guest, Lindsay Aho—a 41-year-old single mom of two, entrepreneur, and the author of Redefining Grace.

Lindsay shares her powerful story of navigating deep personal loss after the tragic passing of her husband to PTSD and alcoholism. She opens up about the raw realities of grieving while raising young kids, rebuilding a new life from the ground up, and how her experiences shaped her into the incredibly compassionate woman she is today.

We talk about:
💔 The struggles she faced during marriage and separation
🌱 What it looked like to find the strength to move forward
👧🏼 Sharing heartbreaking news with her children—and helping them heal
🏡 Launching her short-term rental business and creating a new path for her family
📚 How writing Redefining Grace became a healing process (and a gift to others walking through grief)
💛 Finding unexpected new love—with a familiar face from her past

Lindsay’s story is a beautiful reminder that even in our hardest seasons, growth, hope, and new beginnings are possible.

If you’re in the thick of a tough chapter—or just need to hear a story of resilience and heart—you’re going to be so moved by this conversation.
