Widow Academy™ Online Coaching + Courses
Widow Sis,
You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rebuild—with guidance, grace, and a plan
So what IS Widow Academy? What do we DO here?
Widow Academy as your go-to space that nowhere else seems to understand for widows. We built courses, community and coaching programs - by widows, for widows - to give you the HOW, the TOOLS, and the SUPPORT for healing, purpose, and rediscovery.
Whether you’re navigating grief, identity shifts, or life after loss, these programs are designed to do more than offer "condolences" or social clubs. We are here to hold your hand and actually help you become whole again—and move forward with bold, beautiful clarity - because that's what WE needed when we began this journey as widows. So that's what we built!

Our clients said...
“I came to Maya’s program [ Widow Academy] feeling broken, confused, and tired of pretending I was okay. From our very first session, she saw me—not just the widow, but the woman underneath all the pain. Her guidance gave me tools, but more importantly, she gave me permission to begin again. I’m rebuilding my life with purpose now, and I’m no longer doing it alone.”
— Kimberly, 41, Widow since 2020
“There’s a difference between a support group and what my coach created. This wasn’t just a space to cry—it was a space to heal. She challenged me, prayed with me, and helped me reimagine who I could be after loss. I’ve stepped into my next chapter with hope, clarity, and community.”
— Stephanie, 50, Program Graduate
“Widow Academy helped me stop surviving and start living again. Her widow coaching gave me a roadmap back to myself. I now laugh without guilt, dream without fear, and walk in a faith I thought was lost. If you’re wondering if it’s too late for joy—you need to work with her. She lit a fire in me.”
— Denisha, 38, Mom of 3, Widow since 2019
If you're a widow who is:
Stuck in survival mode, unsure how to move forward but knowing deep down you're meant for more than just making it day by day.
Like your identity disappeared with your spouse, and you’re craving clarity about who you are now and what life still has for you.
Emotionally exhausted from holding it all together alone and secretly wishing someone would guide you with real tools—not just platitudes.
Disconnected from your faith, struggling to trust God again after such deep loss.
Guilty about wanting joy, new dreams, or even love—but longing for permission to rebuild without shame.
Ready to start over, but need structure, community, and a proven path to help you turn your healing into hope.
This is for YOU.

“Widow Academy was the turning point in my grief journey. My coach didn’t just coach me—she walked with me. Her program gave me structure when everything felt chaotic, and her faith-filled approach reminded me that God hadn’t forgotten about me. Today, I’m stepping into purpose I never thought I’d find again. This experience truly changed my life.”
— Tasha L., 44, Widow & Aspiring Author
✨ We Coach Using 6 Core Areas of Healing & Growth
Because widowhood isn’t just about what you’ve lost—it’s about who you’re becoming.
These six pillars are the foundation of everything we teach, coach, and guide you through inside our programs and community. Rooted in faith and lived experience, each area speaks to a different part of your healing journey—emotional, spiritual, practical, and personal. Whether you’re learning how to breathe again, rediscovering your purpose, or figuring out how to manage life solo, these pillars offer a roadmap back to you. The NextYOU. The whole you. The rising you.
Identity & Self-Rediscovery
Addresses the question: Who am I now? This includes letting go of labels, rebuilding confidence, and rediscovering personal values, dreams, and passions.
"You’re not lost—you’re becoming."
Faith & Spiritual Healing
Rebuilding trust in God after loss, restoring spiritual intimacy, and differentiating religion from relationship. Focuses on prayer life, biblical healing, and rediscovering purpose through faith.
"Your doubt didn’t disqualify you. Your faith is being rebuilt, brick by brick."
Emotional Resilience
This area focuses on navigating grief, processing complex emotions, and learning how to regulate and express them in healthy ways. Includes grief literacy, trauma-informed care, and emotional regulation strategies for managing anxiety, loneliness, and depressive patterns.
"You're allowed to feel it all—and heal anyway."
Daily Life & Practical Rebuilding
Covers managing life on your own—finances, decision-making, home routines, parenting, and legal affairs. Equips women with structure, clarity, and independence.
"You weren’t prepared for this—but you are equipped."
Support & Community
Encourages connection with others who get it. Focuses on vulnerability, loneliness, asking for help, building safe circles, and avoiding isolation.
"Healing happens faster when you're not doing it alone."
Purpose, Dreams & Forward Movement
This pillar is about what’s next: rediscovering your calling, launching new goals, and aligning with your purpose after pain. Includes dating, remarriage, entrepreneurship, career shifts, new routines + hobbies, or just dreaming again.
"You're not starting over. You're starting from wisdom."
OUR CLIENTS SAID...
The Widow Academy program was EVERYTHING. I needed the WHOLE thing. The financial team was amazing, the coaching was so hands-on and insightful, and just having someone who GOT me helped me get through every DAY.
I was struggling with believing there was a life to live after my husband passed. I also struggled with believing in myself that I could be more than a wife and a mother. My true identity was revealed in this course. I am so grateful! Maya, Thank you!
I was SO STUCK. 1:1 widow coaching was definitely FOR ME. I'm so glad I found this program. I was against coaching because I'd been to so many therapists with NO real help once I got back HOME to my real life. Because the widow coaches were WIDOWED - they could relate to what I was going thru in my REAL life, and could actually give me ANSWERS
