Starting Over After Divorce
At 67, I’m Building a New Life with Purpose, Peace & Possibilities
But life has a way of changing the story whether we are ready or not.
In this video, I talk a little about divorce, saving money, and what it feels like to rebuild your life after everything changes.
Divorce changes more than your relationship.
It changes your routine. It changes how you think about money. It changes how you see yourself.
I was 48 when I went through my divorce, and I know now that starting over did not mean starting from nothing.
It meant taking what I had lived through and deciding what came next.
For me, that meant being more intentional with money, with my time, and with the things I brought into my life.
I was not trying to be perfect.
I was just trying to keep showing up.
And maybe that is what starting over really looks like.
There is no perfect way to rebuild.
There is no neat little checklist for healing, for figuring out your finances, or for learning how to trust yourself again.
Some days felt strong. Some days felt uncertain. Some days felt like I was doing better than I ever expected. And some days felt heavy.
But I kept going.
That is really what this season of life has taught me.
Starting over is not about having all the answers.
It is about taking the next step anyway.
It is about learning how to live with what happened without letting it decide the rest of your life.
And if you are in that kind of season too, I hope this reminds you that rebuilding may feel slow, but it still counts.

Final Thoughts
Starting over after divorce is not easy.
But it is possible.
Not all at once. Not perfectly. Not without setbacks.
But little by little, piece by piece, life begins to look different.
And sometimes that is enough to keep going.
