Episode 101 ✨How to Start Over Without Starting From Scratch

In this episode, Dorothy opens the door to a fresh new chapter, both in her work and her life. After 100 episodes of growth and reflection, Episode 101 marks a gentle evolution: a conversation about beginnings, endings, and the space in between.

You’ll learn why “starting over” is rarely about wiping the slate clean. Dorothy shares how nervous-system safety, self-trust, and aligned action make new beginnings sustainable, and how returning to what once worked can coexist with redefining what’s true now.

In This Episode:

How to close energetic doors that never fully shut

Returning vs redefining — knowing which season you’re in

What to do when resistance shows up

 How I'm shifting from “fixing” to “frequency” from proving to peace

Begin again in alignment, not pressure

Because you’re never truly starting from scratch.  

Episode Highlights:

“You’re allowed to close a chapter without crossing every t or dotting every i."

“Sometimes expansion looks like doing more. Other times, it’s creating more space to breathe.”

“You’re never truly starting over. Every new beginning carries the wisdom of what came before.”
