What happens when life changes in an instant?
In Episode 13 of Unstoppable Women, Julie Tague sits down with Jen Newberg — founder, widow, recovery advocate, and creator of the community platform It’s Lifey.
Jen shares the deeply personal story of losing her husband suddenly while they were on holiday in Greece, and how that experience completely reshaped her life, identity, and purpose.
This is an honest conversation about:
- grief and widowhood
- rebuilding life after loss
- finding peace after trauma
- recovery and alcoholism
- identity shifts
- blended families and relationships
- mental health and panic attacks
- community, connection and healing
- starting a purpose
-led business after personal tragedy.
Together, Julie and Jen explore what it really means to become “unstoppable” after life breaks open.
This episode is for anyone navigating loss, burnout, divorce, grief, reinvention, motherhood, recovery, career pivots, or major life change.
