Title: Starting Over: It’s Never Too Late to Reinvent Your Life

Pillar: Resilience


Description:

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “This is not where I thought I’d be by now…”?

You’re not alone. And you’re not behind.


In this episode, I’m unpacking what it really means to start over — not from scratch, but from wisdom. Whether you’ve walked through a divorce, a major career change, a cross-country move, or a spiritual awakening after deep loss… this conversation is for you.


Together we’ll explore:

• Why starting over is not failure — it’s divine timing in motion

• The emotional grief of reinvention (and how to honor it without getting stuck)

• Why God doesn’t ask for comfort — He asks for courage

• What Ecclesiastes 3:1 + Isaiah 43:19 say about stepping into a new season

• How to reframe “I’m behind” into “I’m right on time”

• A journal prompt that’ll help you release the old and embrace the next
