About this listen

What if grief began long before the goodbye?

Lisa Corduff is a speaker, coach, writer, and solo mum, but her journey through grief began years before her husband Nick passed away.

As she puts it, “addiction widowed me” and in this deeply honest conversation, Lisa opens up about loving someone through addiction, navigating solo parenting, and the complex grief of losing someone you’d already started to let go of.

We explore what Nick’s death taught her about life, identity, and rebuilding from the inside out and how she continues to show up for others with vulnerability, humour and radical compassion.

Together, Caroline and Lisa chat about:
  • How addiction shaped her marriage, motherhood and eventual grief
  • The tension of claiming widowhood after separation
  • What she’s learned about life, love, and letting go
  • Her honest take on solo parenting, identity and strength
  • Getting unstuck and giving yourself permission to be creative
  • How to fill your own cup amid the storm







Quotes that resonate with Lisa “No one is waiting at the end of this with a medal for you getting through this the hard way” and “life is a creative act”
