“What is life if not a series of fresh starts?” Olivia Howell

Meet Olivia Howell, founder of The Fresh Starts Registry (as featured on the TODAY Show), who’s redefining what it means to begin again after divorce, separation, or abuse. Because when we leave, we need a fresh start registry. You might have spent years too afraid to speak up about how you wanted to decorate your home. Maybe you lost your autonomy and don’t even know what your favorite color is or what clothes feel good on your body anymore. The Fresh Starts Registry gives you permission to start over with dignity, safety, and support.

In this episode of Bitch Is a Bad Word, we explore how to rebuild your life piece by piece, emotionally, financially, and physically, while reclaiming the parts of yourself that got lost along the way.

Inside this episode

• What the Fresh Starts Registry is and how it helps fund your restart
• The power of reclaiming your space, identity, and confidence after leaving
• Co-parenting basics, boundaries, and documentation that protects you
• Financial essentials: credit, budgeting, housing, and must-have items
• Healing after narcissistic and coercive control without losing yourself
• How to build your new village: community, safety, and support
