I remember the first time someone told me I was brave after I shared that I was getting a divorce.
Brave. That wasn’t something I had considered while I was in the middle of dismantling the life I once knew. But as I reflected on it, I had to agree—walking away from what was no longer serving me to create the life I truly desired took real courage.
This wasn’t the first time I had to start over, but it was definitely the most impactful.
Back in 2019, I went through a friendship breakup, which forced me to start fresh in redefining what I needed and valued in my friendships. It was painful but necessary. That experience taught me how to release relationships that no longer align with who I am, and it was a reminder that growth often requires letting go.
I didn’t always see myself as a courageous person, but looking back, I now recognize those moments for what they were. Starting my business after being laid off from Corporate America was a bold move—simply because I wanted to help women get unstuck and reclaim their freedom. It was scary to leap into the unknown, but my desire for freedom was stronger than my fear.
And here I am, at 44, starting over once again—but this time from a place of wholeness.
I feel amazing! Everything feels new and fresh, and I’m fully embracing this season of life with pure excitement and curiosity.
Starting over doesn’t mean failure. It means you’re choosing yourself, rewriting your narrative, and allowing yourself to evolve into the woman you’re meant to be. I’ve learned that every time I start over, I’m not starting from scratch—I’m starting from experience.
If you’re in a space of starting over, here’s what I want you to remember:
• You can start over as many times as you need to. There’s no limit to reinvention.
• There’s no right or wrong way to live your life. It’s yours—so live it on your terms, unapologetically.
• Trust your intuition, and honor your feelings. They’re your guide, and they will never steer you wrong.
• Be gentle with yourself. Starting over takes time, patience, and grace. It’s a journey, not a race.
Embrace the unknown. It’s where the magic happens.
