What happens when you’ve rebuilt so much of your life, but it still doesn’t look like you thought it would by now?

In episode five of the Starting Over Series, we’re talking about a part of starting over that doesn’t get talked about enough: the lonely gap.

It’s that strange space between how far you’ve come and the parts of your life that still haven’t arrived yet.

Maybe you’re no longer grieving the relationship, the career, or the life that ended. Maybe now you’re grieving the timeline you thought your life would follow.

In this episode, I talk about the difference between surviving and rebuilding, what it feels like to put your life back together brick by brick, and the complicated truth that you can genuinely love the life you’ve created while still longing for something more.

Because healing doesn’t mean you stop having desires. And being grateful for your life doesn’t mean you’re never allowed to feel lonely in it.

If you’re starting over and wondering why this in-between season can still feel so heavy, this episode is for you.

This is episode 5 of 6 in the Starting Over Series, created to help you rebuild, rediscover who you are, trust where you’re going, and keep moving forward even when your life doesn’t look the way you once imagined it would.

When life doesn’t go according to plan, it can feel like you’ve lost your direction entirely.

In episode four of the Starting Over Series, we’re revisiting one of the most-loved episodes of Wandering the Wild Mess and exploring what it really means to let go of control, release the future you thought you were supposed to have, and find direction after a major life shift.

Whether you’re navigating divorce, heartbreak, a career change, or an identity transition, this episode will help you look at uncertainty differently. Feeling lost doesn’t always mean you’re on the wrong path. Sometimes it means the old plan no longer fits the person you’re becoming.

Because letting go of the original plan isn’t giving up on your life. Sometimes the detour isn’t the delay. Sometimes the detour becomes the path.

This is episode 4 of 6 in the Starting Over Series, created to help you shift your mindset, trust your path, and move forward wherever you are in your starting-over journey.

You can change your surroundings, your routines, and even the people around you—but if you’re still making decisions from an old version of yourself, it’s easy to recreate the same life in a different place.

In episode three of the Starting Over Series, we’re talking about the identity shift that happens when who you were no longer fits, but you haven’t fully become who you’re meant to be next.

Because starting over isn’t only about what you leave behind. It’s also about recognizing the beliefs, behaviors, and stories you’ve carried with you—and deciding which ones are no longer allowed to shape your future.

In this episode, we explore:

• How your identity quietly shapes the choices you make
• Why changing your circumstances doesn’t always change your patterns
• What happens when you continue seeing yourself through the lens of your past
• How small, consistent choices help you become someone new
• Why feeling uncomfortable may be a sign that you’re growing—not that you’re on the wrong path

If you’re rebuilding after divorce, heartbreak, loss, a career change, or any season that has made you question who you are now, this episode will help you look honestly at the version of yourself you’ve outgrown—and begin stepping toward the person you’re becoming.

You don’t have to have your entire next chapter figured out. But you do have to stop letting an old identity decide what you believe is possible for your life.

Wandering the Wild Mess is a podcast about starting over, finding yourself again, and learning to trust the path forward, even when life looks nothing like you thought it would.
