240: The Courage to Start Over Again wit...

Aileen Xu
About this episode
You can go through several major life changing moments in our lives, experience new chapters, endings that lead to new beginnings. And sometimes that means starting over. It can be difficult to start afresh and we almost always need support from our circles and communities. How can you be that support that your friend needs in these challenging times?

Aileen, Olivia, and Jenny go through how important it is to have a support system during these life changing moments, whether that’s a wedding, job change, graduation, divorce, living through grief, long-distance moves, celebrating brave choices, or whenever you feel like you deserve a new beginning. Olivia Howell and Jenny Dreizen are the founders of Fresh Start Registry, a first-of-its-kind platform built to support those going through brave and bold changes in their lives, revolutionizing the art and bravery of starting again.
