In this episode, we tackle a conversation many professionals are quietly having: what it really means to start over. Not because we failed, but because the rules changed. Markets shifted, costs rose, and what once worked no longer does.

We unpack how rebuilding begins with getting honest about where we are today, taking stock of our skills, relationships, and lessons learned, and letting go of identities tied to past success. We talk about the importance of reassessing who we listen to, finding energy through aligned action, and rediscovering the joy of being a beginner again.

We also explore the emotional side of rebuilding, including ego, expectations, and the fear of letting go of what once was. The takeaway is clear: don’t be intoxicated by past success or hungover from past failure. This next chapter isn’t about going backward. It’s about building forward, smarter, clearer, and more aligned than ever.
