How to Start Over After 30 is not a motivational pep talk. It’s a practical, honest, and deeply useful guide for anyone rebuilding their life in their 30s or beyond — after a breakup, a burnout, a career pivot, or simply the quiet realization that what you’ve built no longer fits.
This book is for people who feel like they’re late, lost, or stuck — but aren’t ready to give up on themselves. You won’t find vague advice or empty mantras here. Instead, you’ll learn how to make real, lasting changes that fit your life now — not who you used to be in your twenties.
With a mix of compassionate insight and grounded tools, you’ll discover how to rebuild your identity, reset your habits, reimagine your relationships, and design a life that feels worth waking up to — even if you’re starting from scratch.
