Let Your Experience Be Your Power Move | Reinventing Your Career With Confidence | MaryAnn Walker

Whether you're returning to a wellness routine, navigating dating after a breakup, or shifting careers, this episode will help you reframe your "restart" as a continuation of your growth.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨Why your inner critic gets loud when you're doing something new (or returning after a break)
✨How to recognize the wisdom and experience you're already bringing with you
✨Why discomfort is not the enemy
✨Practical examples for reframing self-doubt in areas like wellness, dating, and career changes
✨How to rewrite the story of “starting over” and own your progress with compassion

Challenge for the Week:
Pick one area of your life where you've been telling yourself, “I’m starting from scratch.” Then write down three ways you’re actually starting from experience:

-What have you learned?
-What mistakes won’t you repeat?
-What strengths are you bringing with you now?
*Give yourself credit. You’ve come further than you think.*
