What happens when the life you knew has fallen apart, and you’re left looking at the pieces, wondering, “Where do I go from here?”

This is the first episode of a six-week Starting Over Series. Every rebuilding journey begins with something ending: a divorce, heartbreak, loss, career change, move, or a life that no longer looks the way you planned. Before you can rebuild, you have to acknowledge what was lost, look at what remains, and decide what comes next.

Inspired by Stoic philosopher Zeno, whose literal shipwreck redirected him toward an entirely new purpose, this episode explores how adversity can become a turning point. Sometimes the experience that wrecks your plans also creates the opportunity to build a life more aligned with who you are becoming.

In this episode:

• Starting over when life doesn’t go according to plan
• Turning adversity into growth and purpose
• Accepting what you cannot control
• Responding intentionally instead of reacting emotionally
• Walking away from what no longer serves you
• Finding inner peace during uncertain seasons

Starting over doesn’t begin once everything is fixed, and you finally have a plan. It begins in the wreckage, when you look at the pieces of the life you once knew and ask, “What can I build from here?”
