Joan Vassos- Golden Bachelorette- Joins Healthy Widow Healthy Woman Podcast

About this episode

Joan Vassos joins Carolyn Moor to discuss love and dating after loss, exploring the journey of widowhood and personal growth.

We are so honored to welcome Joan Vassos — Golden Bachelorette — to our Healthy Widow Healthy Woman podcast with hostess Carolyn Moor. Joan's journey captured the hearts of millions, not just because of the search for love, but because of the grace, courage, and authenticity she brought to it as a wister® (widow + sister). She's living proof that love does not have an expiration date and that widowhood is not the end of a story — it is, for so many of us, the beginning of a new and unexpected chapter of life. We are diving into one of the most asked-about topics in our Modern Widows Club® community: how love lives on in widowhood, what it means to open your heart again, and how to navigate that journey on your own terms. 💛 From navigating dating and intimacy to honoring your spouse's legacy while opening your heart again — we explore it all. We talk honestly about the myths and realities of romantic relationships after loss, how your personal priorities shift as you grow, and how to communicate those changes with confidence to the people in your life. + Follow Joan Vassos on Instagram and watch her HGTV special "Bachelor Mansion Take-Over".
