In this honest and practical conversation, Kate Nuttall shares her experience of going back to work after the sudden death of her husband Tim. Balancing grief, parenting, and professional life, Kate reflects on the emotional reality of those early days, and what it takes to keep showing up when everything inside you has changed.

As an HR professional and widow, Kate offers a unique perspective on both sides of the workplace – what support can look like, where systems fall short, and how organisations can better respond to people navigating profound loss. She also shares what it was like to eventually begin a new chapter, while still carrying the memory of the life she had with Tim.

In this deeply raw conversation, Kelli McCombe shares the story of losing her husband suddenly on his birthday in 2024 and in Papua New Guinea, the place he was born. A devoted husband, father, and well-known member of his community, his death left Kelli navigating shock, trauma, and an overwhelming new reality.

As a registered psychiatric nurse, Kelli understands trauma from a clinical perspective — but here she speaks as a widow living it. She reflects on the disorientation of early grief, the weight of responsibility that followed, and the complexity of trying to function while everything inside her was unravelling.

This is an episode about sudden loss, trauma responses, and the fragile early months of grief — and the small anchors of love and support that can sometimes keep you going.

Together, Caroline and Kelli chat about:
  • The day everything changed and the shock of sudden loss
  • The significance of his death occurring in his birthplace
  • Experiencing grief while also understanding trauma clinically
  • Memory, confusion, and early grief decision-making
  • Carrying responsibility for business and life admin in shock
  • Isolation, support, and finding small anchors to survive each day

When Paula Hindle lost her husband Chris to suicide in 2013, she was suddenly a solo mother to two small children, with grief in one hand and survival in the other.

But what followed wasn’t just a journey through pain, it was a deep, powerful return to the body, to self-worth, and to the kind of healing that reconnects you to life.

Since then, Paula has dedicated herself to healing – emotionally, physically, and spiritually – and now supports other women in reclaiming their strength, sensuality, and self-worth.

Together, Caroline and Paula chat about:
  • The early days of widowhood and mothering through trauma
  • How grief can disconnect you from your body and how to come home again
  • Navigating identity as a widow and a woman, longing for connection and confidence
  • Reclaiming your body, confidence, and intimacy after loss
  • Finding your inner power to move from surviving to thriving

For Jodi Carpenter, New Year’s Eve was the day she met her husband Chris, the day they got engaged, and eventually the day they married. But after losing Chris to brain cancer that once-joyful date – like so many others – took on a whole new meaning.

In this tender and wise conversation, Jodi – a second-generation widow, mum of two, and newly minted grandma – reflects on the complicated beauty of anniversaries, the impact of generational grief, and how we carry our people forward with us.

With raw honesty and deep compassion, Jodi shares how her losses have fuelled her passion to help the wider population be more educated around grief.

Together, Caroline and Jodi chat about:
  • How milestone dates like anniversaries and New Year’s shift in widowhood
  • Parenting through grief after having lost a parent young
  • What to say and not say, to support someone facing painful dates
  • The legacy of love that lives on in her children and future grandchild
  • How grief changes over time, but never disappears  


Quotes that resonate with Jodi “She was not powerful because she wasn’t scared, but because she went on so strongly despite the fear” and “I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it”
