You asked for a new chapter—but are you still emotionally living in the old one?
from Breaking the Silence Podcast
Last time on Motivational Monday, we talked about giving yourself permission to start over. This time, we're talking about what happens after you make that decision.Because starting over sounds good until you realize you actually have to let something go.In “You Asked God for a New Chapter… Stop Reading the Old One,” Author Nikki Nicole gets down to earth about why we sometimes return to relationships, habits, environments, and versions of ourselves that we've already outgrown.Sometimes we don't go back because it was good—we go back because it was familiar.This episode explores the uncomfortable space between who you used to be and who you're becoming, why peace can feel strange after you've become accustomed to chaos, and why missing your past doesn't mean you belong there.You don't have to erase your old chapters. They helped shape your story.But you don't have to keep living in them either.If you've been struggling to let go, questioning your fresh start, or wondering whether you made the right decision by moving forward, this conversation is for you.Today's challenge: Stop rereading what already ended. Turn the page and give your next chapter a chance.
