I’m one year sober, just turned 40, and I run a successful business. And I’m still starting over. Not because I lost everything, but because I changed. The life I had doesn’t fit the woman I’m becoming.

If you’ve ever thought, “Is this it?” this episode is for you.

1. Relationships -Sobriety changes your relationships. Some people will cheer for you, and some will disappear. I had to learn to let go, reintroduce myself, and stop chasing people who didn’t see the new me.
2. Business - I didn’t start my business sober, but now I run it as this new version of me. With clearer boundaries and a bigger vision, I’m building something that actually supports my energy.
3. Fitness and Routine - I created my version of 75 Hard, that is about consistency, not punishment. Daily movement, clean habits, and showing up for myself have reminded me I can keep promises.
4. Finances - I pulled my head out of the sand and started being intentional about money. I’m focused on earning, saving, and giving in ways that feel powerful and aligned.
5. Identity - Turning 40 made me stop pretending. I’m dressing how I want, trying new things, and asking who I am when no one’s watching. It’s not about reinventing. It’s about remembering.

This isn’t a breakdown. It’s a fresh start. And this might be your sign to begin again, too.
