ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Starting over sounds brave, but it can also feel brutal, like you’re back at square one with nothing to show for it. We don’t buy that story. If you’re pivoting careers, rebuilding after a breakup or divorce, launching a side hustle, or stepping into a new identity, you’re not beginning from scratch. You’re beginning with a record of real life, and that changes everything.
And, if you want more access to me, my coaching, and live monthly calls, I want to invite you to join us inside Self Coaching Society with this limited time, exclusive offer just for my very special podcast listeners.

TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.000
Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:23.839
I have been saying this for years and it feels particularly timely now as I see a lot of people reinventing, some people are pivoting, some people are starting afresh in completely different life areas, doing different things.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.320
I'm certainly seeing it a lot in business.
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:41.439
And I want to share this with you now because when I first started teaching the side hustle, my side hustle programs back in the day when I was newer to this work, I would always tell people, you are not starting at zero.
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:47.840
If you've been an attorney, if you've run a hair salon, if you've worked in real estate, you're not starting from scratch.
00:00:48.079 --> 00:01:00.320
You're starting in your side hustle with all of this experience, this work experience, money experience, business business experience, you being a professional by showing up everyday experience.
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.799
You are not starting at nothing.
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:04.239
You're not starting over.
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:11.280
You're starting with a certain standard already in place, and you're starting as an informed person.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:12.959
Okay.
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.760
So think about that for a moment.
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:21.200
Maybe you're in the business world, for example, you're launching something new.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.599
And maybe it's something that is a test, it's very different to what you've done before.
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:35.920
No matter what happens, you're taking all of the experience that you've already garnered and putting it into this new project.
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:43.599
This means that you're not brand new, you're not uh clueless, you're not walking around shaking your head saying, you know, I I don't get anything.
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.200
Of course you do.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:52.000
You've arrived at this point today with everything that you've learned, nothing has left you.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.840
The same is true for really anything else in your life.
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.920
Just say, for example, you've gotten divorced.
00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.680
I was divorced in my 20s.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:08.800
And so with my second marriage, which has now been 16 years, 16 years of marriage, I wasn't even starting over in that relationship.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.840
I'd grown as a woman, as an adult.
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:17.840
I had matured, I had boundaries, I had different standards, I knew what I was choosing.
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:27.199
That experience didn't have me starting from scratch, it had me starting from a place of understanding what my non-negotiables are.
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.400
What about if you're starting over with some form of identity?
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:45.199
People are so attached to their identities, and maybe their identity has been guiding them or not guiding them up until this point.
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:52.639
I was speaking to someone not long ago who kind of always went against her inner voice, and she became a teacher when she really wanted to be a musician.
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.039
So she ended up actually teaching music.
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.080
And when she wanted to create music, I said, look, you're not behind.
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.199
You have all these years of teaching, you've been playing around with music.
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.240
Every single day you've been showing up 9 to 3:30, right?
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:16.879
Teaching students, you're wise, you've applied yourself, you have all of this experience to bring into the new creation that you are here to create.
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.759
You're not starting over.
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:27.919
Whatever it is, you're starting smarter, you're clearer, you have data and information that you once didn't have.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.000
Everything counts.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.879
No experience is wasted.
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:39.840
Until tomorrow, my friends.
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.120
So much love and ease.
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.039
