Her husband had died. Just like that, her life unravelled. She was alone with two children and facing a future she had never imagined.For years, her world had revolved around managing her husband’s illness and holding together a fragile home. When that structure disappeared, so did the version of herself she thought she knew.What followed was rock bottom and the confronting task of rebuilding from nothing. Not just a life without her partner, but an identity beyond ‘wife’ and ‘mum’.From there, Kylie began the long process of finding her way back to herself, slowly learning what it meant to live again, to trust again, and to step into a future she never expected. Along the way, she discovered new passions, including a deep love of travel and Japanese culture, that begin to gently reshape how she sees her life.This is a story about loss, courage, and the unexpected freedom that can come when everything you built your life around is suddenly gone.For more information about Kylie, you can visit her website: www.kylieeklunddenman.com or follow her on Instagram @kylieeklund_denman.⚠️ Our episodes contain conversations about difficult life experiences.
