Jen Zwinck is the founder and host of Widow 180: The Podcast and Widow 180: The Channel. In 2011, her husband was walking home from a bachelor party when he was attacked, robbed, and killed. Jen instantly became a young widow, left to raise their two year old daughter alone.

Overcome with grief and anxiety over the loss, Jen chose her own unique path to heal. She packed 4 suitcases and moved with her daughter to a tiny island in the Caribbean where she knew no one. The years she spent on the island gave her the time to process the loss and rebuild her own strength and courage to move forward.

Jen believes that every widow has the capacity to endure, the power to overcome, and the determination to create a new life with meaning and purpose.

That’s how Widow 180: The Podcast came to be. It’s a show about turning tragedy, loss, and fear into strength, creativity, and a new passion for life. Each week a different widow is interviewed to share her story of loss, how she coped, and how she has taken the lessons she’s learned and used them to transform and grow.

Jen’s mission through the podcast, the You Tube Channel, blog posts, coaching and speaking is to arm other widows with powerful stories of transformation and knowledge so that they can navigate life after loss.

She has a number of online courses and programs including:

~Dating After Loss: A 4 Step WISH Program For Widows And Widowers Looking to Find Love Again. She helps widows and widowers overcome the overwhelm of getting back into the dating scene after losing their spouse.

~The Finding Purpose And Meaning After Loss Program For Widows. This is a 4 week interactive group coaching program with live Zoom calls.

~The Widow's Holiday Club. 6 weeks of group coaching and support from Thanksgiving through the new year.

Her membership community, The Widow Connection Community, meets weekly via Zoom for group coaching, guest speakers, guided meditation, guided journaling, and so much more.

Jen remarried in 2017. She and her husband Doug welcomed a new baby girl, Penelope, in 2018. They are enjoying a fun and crazy life as a family of four, in a new house in South Louisiana.
