It's Not About Me by Simi Polonsky

Society EN ↓ 3 episodes

Hi, I’m Simi. I thought I had a regular life, until I didn’t. At 31, my world shattered when my husband, the father of my children, died suddenly, leaving me with two little girls and a baby boy on the way. In the years that followed, I walked through widowhood, remarriage and divorce, soul-aching fear and loneliness, and the kind of breaking no one prepares for. It’s Not About Me is a solo, soul-led podcast about the raw truths we live and the guidebooks we become for each other by sharing honestly about being human. Season 1 begins here, and I hope you’ll come with me.

Driving Solo is about the silence, the surrender, and the surprising clarity that comes when you realize you’re the only one behind the wheel… and you decide to keep going.
