Hey there, fellow podcast enthusiasts! I recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with the amazing Olivia Howell, co-founder and CEO of the Fresh STARTS Registry. Let me tell you, our conversation was nothing short of inspiring. Olivia shared her journey of launching a platform that supports individuals through significant life transitions, such as divorce, breakups, career changes, and finding one’s truth. It got me thinking about celebrating life milestones and how we don’t do it enough.

During our chat, Olivia and I dove into why women don’t celebrate themselves more often, especially during significant life changes. Olivia highlighted that culturally, women are often discouraged from seeking joy and are expected to stay in specific roles or positions. We touched on how society greatly emphasizes celebrating weddings and baby showers but tends to overlook other milestones and life changes. This struck a chord with me, as I’ve witnessed the lack of resources and support available for women during these transition periods.

About Fresh STARTS Registry

Fresh STARTS registry offers a unique and much-needed solution to this issue, providing a platform that offers a registry for life changes and connects individuals with experts who become their dedicated support system during challenging times. The community built around Fresh STARTS is designed to meet people where they are and celebrate them through all phases and milestones of their journey, empowering them to embrace the power of fresh starts in life.

The Importance of Celebrating All of Your Life Milestones

One key takeaway from our conversation was the need for women to break free from the societal norms that limit their celebration of important life milestones. Olivia emphasized the significance of pursuing joy and creating small rituals that bring happiness during difficult times, encouraging women to rewrite the narrative surrounding life changes and find ways to celebrate their personal growth and resilience.
Another eye-opening point that Olivia made was the necessity for women to give themselves permission to ask for and receive support during these transitions. Through the Fresh STARTS registry, she’s redefining traditional gifting by reframing items on the registry as support rather than just gifts, empowering individuals to ask for the specific help they need during pivotal moments, whether it’s after a breakup, a job change, or personal growth achievement.

In addition to the platform’s registry, Olivia discussed the importance of supporting experts through the Fresh STARTS expert community, providing resources, business coaching, and PR opportunities to elevate their presence and services. This demonstrates her commitment to empowering individuals and her dedication to supporting a diverse range of professionals who offer valuable assistance to those navigating life changes.

Ultimately, our conversation underscored the importance of destigmatizing and normalizing the act of celebrating oneself during every phase of life. Olivia’s journey and the mission of the Fresh STARTS registry serve as potent reminders that embracing fresh starts and life changes should be celebrated, and it’s crucial to provide the necessary resources and support to facilitate that celebration.

In conclusion, Olivia’s vision and work through the Fresh STARTS registry are changing the life transition narrative and empowering individuals to celebrate their personal growth, courage, and resilience. I left our conversation feeling inspired and motivated to continue advocating for women’s empowerment and the celebration of all life milestones.
