Podcast: From Grief to Growth: How Pam Baker Built a Community of Healing
What happens when a financial planner dies – and even his widow can’t find the key to the safe? In this raw and uplifting episode, Stacy sits down with Pam Baker, founder of Widows Who Wine, to unpack the emotional and financial mess that followed her husband’s death. Pam shares the hard truths she wishes every family knew, why estate planning is about way more than a will, and how she’s helping women across the country rediscover joy through connection, community… and yes, a little wine.
You’ll hear them discuss:
- Why having a will is just the beginning – and what really needs to be in place
- How even financially savvy families can end up in chaos without an actual estate plan
- The unexpected moment that made Pam realize joy was missing from her life – and what she did next
- What “Widows Who Wine” really means (hint: it’s spelled W-I-N-E)
- The difference between surviving grief and actually living again
- Financial surprises after loss, from closed credit cards to frozen accounts
- Why estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy
- Pam’s simple mantra for hard days, and the one person who always makes her laugh
