Starting over isn’t a failure—it’s a declaration.

In this episode of Girl, Wake Up!, Amy Polacko is joined by Olivia Howell, founder of Fresh Starts Registry, to talk about why rebuilding your life after divorce is one of the bravest things a woman can do.

Olivia created Fresh Starts Registry after her own split, when she realized how little support exists for women starting over quietly, without weddings, baby showers or applause. What she built instead is a powerful community that says: your fresh start matters.

Together, we unpack the emotional, practical and deeply personal realities of starting over-and why choosing yourself is never something to apologize for.

1. Why starting over is often mislabeled as “failure” (and why that’s wrong)
2. The emotional toll of rebuilding your life in silence
3. How divorce, breakups, and major life resets can become portals to power
4. Why women need support systems after relationships end-not just before they begin
5. How Fresh Starts Registry is changing the way we show up for women in transition
6. What it really means to reclaim your life, your space and your future

So many women are navigating massive life changes without language, permission or support. This episode is a reminder that starting over isn’t weakness-it’s wisdom.
