Are you trapped by your own past efforts? Sometimes, the most courageous thing you can do is quit and intentionally start anew.

We're often victims of the sunk cost fallacy, letting pride chain us to failing jobs, projects, or relationships just because of the time and effort already invested.

In this powerful episode, Eryn Foster breaks down why starting over isn't failure—it's a strategic pivot. True courage isn't found in saving face; it's in choosing your peace over your pride.

Eryn shares his personal restarts and offers a roadmap for moving forward, covering:

• The difference between a challenge and a dead end.

• Why God’s new mercies are the ultimate daily "Start Over" button.

• How to execute an intimate relational pivot with a spouse or child.

You don't lose the lessons; you only lose the baggage. Discover the practical steps to grieve the loss, keep the lessons, and commit to the small, daily start that will lead you to a truer path.

Don't let the fear of a messy middle stop you from a worthy end. The new mercy is waiting.
