When life throws you a curve you never saw coming — loss, divorce, or the sudden shift from “we” to “me” — what do you do next? On this episode of Author Corner, host Stephanie Larkin sits down with author Susan Scalone to talk about her heartfelt new book, Survival Guide for Suddenly Single Sisters.
With warmth, honesty, and plenty of gentle humor, Susan offers a companion for any woman who wakes up one day facing life on her own. In this conversation, she shares the inspiration behind the book and walks us through the emotional roller coaster of widowhood and divorce — the practical steps, the quiet inner work, and the everyday moments that make up the long road back to yourself.
From handling paperwork and talking to your kids, to leaning on friends and slowly healing your heart, Susan’s guidance is steady, real, and deeply reassuring. Above all, her message is simple: you are not alone, you are not broken, and you will make it through this chapter with grace, courage, and hope.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or simply unsure where to begin, this episode offers a steady hand to hold — and a reminder that a new chapter can still be full of meaning, joy, and possibility.
A tender, empowering conversation for anyone rebuilding a life after “we” becomes “me.”
