Starting over is not always about wiping the slate clean. It is about allowing yourself to evolve. Lately, I have realized that change does not have to be dramatic to be meaningful. Sometimes it is as simple as choosing to show up differently, whether that is in how I lead, create, or care for myself. There is a quiet power in saying, “I am ready to begin again.”

As I prepare to graduate with my MBA, I can feel that same mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with closing one chapter and opening another. For the first time in years, I will not be balancing coursework, group projects, or campus events. Instead, I will be stepping into a new rhythm, working full time at a new company and navigating what this next version of me looks like. It is both freeing and unfamiliar, but I am learning to welcome that.

Through my MBA journey, career shifts, and personal growth, I have learned that every ending carries a quiet invitation to rebuild with more wisdom and intention. Starting over is less about erasing the past and more about honoring how it shaped you. Each transition reminds me that I am capable of reinventing myself without losing the parts that make me who I am.

Here is to the art of starting over. Whether it is a new semester, a new city, or simply a new mindset, remember that you are not back at square one. You are beginning from experience.

Think of one area in your life that could use a reset. What is one small step you can take to start again today?
