Description

In this episode, I dive into one of the most uncomfortable but powerful moments in anyone's life — the restart. I've been through seasons where something ended, whether it was a job, a relationship, or a dream I thought would work out. And every time, that moment of starting over felt like fear mixed with uncertainty. But what I've learned is this: a restart isn't the end. It's a rebirth. It's planting a new seed instead of being buried by your circumstances.

I break down why starting from scratch is actually the key to long-term confidence, clarity, and resilience. You'll learn how to embrace being bad at something in the beginning, how to find direction when everything feels unclear, and how daily discipline compounds into greatness. If you're in a season of change or feel like you're being forced to rebuild, this episode gives you the mindset and strategy to take the next step forward with purpose.

Key Topics:

  • Why restarts feel terrifying — and why that feeling is actually normal.
  • The mindset shift: you MUST expect to be bad at something before you become great. 
  • How small daily reps build confidence, clarity, and long-term growth.
  • Turning setbacks, losses, or endings into opportunities to rebuild with purpose.
