I’m in my mid-40s, divorced, and for a long time, I lived a life that looked “fine” from the outside — strong career, great kids, good friends, and predictable routines.
But deep down, I felt disconnected. I looked in the mirror to see that I was tired and overweight. I was uninspired with often short-lived hobbies and struggling to even know what I was passionate about. Although I have a strong career working with great people, there’s a side of me that feels unfulfilled. I realized that I was lost in what I thought a “good life” looked like.
My Reviving Life Project is my personal mission to come back to life — not by starting over, but by taking everything I have learned, everything I am still learning, and even what I will learn to rebuild from the inside out.
This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming the real me again.. Or heck, maybe even for the first time!
Why I built this blog
This is my home base — a place to document the process of my transformation and to express all the experiences associated with the journey.
It’s where I track my progress, share what I’m learning and how it has impacted me, and hopefully inspire others who want to take a similar journey of change.
The content revolves around four key areas:
My Journey
I want to share real stories of change, struggle, and rediscovery — from feeling robotic in my day-to-day to truly belonging in the life I have.
Expect raw reflections, video journals, and unfiltered moments of growth.
One key point to understand though is that this is about my journey. Meaning, I will not share details that may impact anyone else that has been a part of my life (friends, family, relationships, etc.). They didn’t sign up to share on this journey. So, their name and the part they played will also not be shared.
My Goals
I’m rebuilding myself across four pillars:
- Physical Strength — Regaining energy, fitness, and confidence.
- Emotional Resilience — Healing from past wounds and deepening relationships.
- Mental Clarity — Finding focus, purpose, and creative flow.
- Spiritual Grounding — Reconnecting with meaning, peace, and gratitude.
Each goal is a practice — not a quick fix.
My Destination
The goal isn’t a “before and after.”
It’s a life that feels whole — where I’m strong, purposeful, connected, and at peace.
A life that can feel truly mine, no matter what job, responsibilities, or expectations are a part of it.
My Progress
I plan to share everything that relates to my journey — the wins, the setbacks, the lessons learned.
You’ll see measurable progress, mindset shifts, and the truth of what change can really look like no matter how old you are.
What You Can Expect From Me
If you follow my journey, you’ll find:
- Honest storytelling — no filters, no faking it. I expect it to be messy at times. So should you.
- Real insights — what worked for me (and what didn’t) in rebuilding my health, habits, and mindset.
- Meaningful conversations — about fear, faith, failure, and the courage to begin again.
- Community — opportunities – I hope – for us to connect to share and learn from one another. The truth to me is, this is not something that can be done alone. A key reason why I am posting this publicly is to find/build a small community where we can help one another on our own journeys. This is my accountability group.
What this is not
This isn’t a self-help brand or guru site. I am not an expert and I do not claim to have all the correct answers to everything. I’m on a journey. I’m learning. And, I’m only sharing my experience and do not claim that what I do will work for everyone.
Because, it’s not about quick fixes, hacks, or pretending everything’s okay.
You won’t find polished perfection here.
You’ll find truth over polish, progress over perfection, and real life over marketing.
If that resonates — you’re in the right place.
