What do you do when life takes an unexpected turn and you lose your spouse?
If you’re like Michelle Bader Ebersole, you let God work through that grief and turn it into a flourishing writing and speaking ministry helping widows around the world.

Michelle started her podcast, “Widowed 2 Soon,” 11 months after her husband passed, became a lifeline for fellow widows and widowers.
In collaboration with a widower friend, Michelle used the platform to share personal stories of resilience and faith. After her co-host left, Michelle embraced the opportunity to dive deeper into interviews, connecting with people worldwide and discussing how faith helped them navigate their grief.
As an author, Michelle advocates for self-publishing to harness your own story, and then find your audience through platforms like podcasts.
If you're hesitant about sharing your book's content before it's published, Michelle encourages openness, as the ultimate goal is spreading your message, regardless of the medium.
