If you’ve ever wondered how to keep moving when life gives you the unthinkable, this episode is for you.

This conversation is one of the most moving I’ve ever shared on Girls Who Recover. Today, I’m joined by the extraordinary Edith Taves—certified Dream Builder, grief coach, life mastery consultant, and now published author of My Loss, His Gain.

Edith’s story is one of love, heartbreak, and radiant resilience. She opens up about meeting her soulmate, Greg, building a marriage rooted in joy and service, and then facing the unimaginable—his passing. What could have ended her story instead became the beginning of a breathtaking comeback.

We talk about:

• How Edith’s global journey—from Singapore to Dubai to the U.S.—shaped her vision and her voice.
• What it looks like to walk through profound grief while still showing up for others.
• The shift that allowed her to transform tragedy into purpose and write her powerful book.
• The universal lessons of resilience, service, and saying YES to life even when it breaks you open.

This is a conversation about setbacks that shake the ground beneath us—and the choice to rise, recover, and create a future brighter than we imagined. Edith’s heart, wisdom, and light will stay with you long after you listen.
