What to do when you're starting over in life

Christy Lee Stephens Season 1 Episode 48

I’m opening up about the real, emotional, and practical challenges of starting over after life throws you off course—like it did for me when I went through a divorce at 36. After a viral Instagram video about my journey resonated with so many, I felt called to record this episode to speak directly to anyone in that raw, rebuilding phase. I share my own story of grief, how society sets us up to expect a perfect, linear life, and why it's crucial to give yourself space to mourn before you start to rebuild. You'll also hear my go-to tips for getting through those early days: I’ll talk about the little things that made a big difference for me—like creating a cozy, personal space, starting small self-care routines, and keeping my body moving even when it was hard. Plus, I’ll share how focusing on my fitness helped rebuild my confidence and why my Glow Up Challenge is designed to help you do the same—by combining mental health and fitness in a way that feels doable when you’re overwhelmed. If you’re in the thick of it, this episode is here to remind you: rebuilding is messy, non-linear, but you are strong enough to do it, step by step.
