The Gentle Art of Starting Again

I’d love to hear from you- send a text!

Starting over doesn’t have to be loud, dramatic, or perfect.

In this deeply encouraging episode of Life of Joy & Purpose, Vicki Gardiner, LPC invites you to explore what it means to begin again—with grace, gentleness, and truth. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, recovering from burnout, or simply feeling the nudge to reconnect with yourself, this episode is your soft landing place.

Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:

🌿 Why starting again is often more about remembering than reinventing
💭 The mindset traps that hold women in midlife back from making a shift
🪞 Small, soul-honoring steps you can take to move forward—without shame or urgency
💌 How self-compassion opens the door to lasting transformation

If you’ve ever whispered, “I thought I’d be further along by now…” or “I don’t know where to begin,” this episode is your reminder that you’re not broken—you’re just being invited into a new beginning.

✨ Includes a short, grounding prayer to bless your next chapter.
