Hi guys, it's Rach. Welcome to our Sunday episode, which is our pep talk. These are little

10 minute episodes where I hope to pump you up, inspire you, give you a little kick that you

might need to start the week off. And this one's special because it's Easter Sunday.

Now, if you don't know this about me, I grew up as a pastor's kid and a pastor's grandkid.

So I grew up very much inside and celebrating Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday was like the Super Bowl, if you were a pastor's kid. And as much as Easter means something different to me now as an adult than it did when I was little, there are still so many themes, the story of rebirth and renewal and not giving up and, you know, it's not over. Like so many beautiful stories come out of this day.

So even if you are not a religious person, I think it's a really good day to consider what it means to begin again.

So if you'll allow me to be just slightly preachy, not religious, but slightly

preachy, Easter is a reminder that no matter how dark things get, no matter how hopeless

something feels, no matter how dead a dream seemed, there's a second act. There is always the opportunity for a

comeback. And I thought that was really important because I know many of you today that feel like

you're in that place. Life maybe feels heavy or you feel stuck or maybe you feel like you've messed up in a really

big way.

And what I want to remind you today is that you can begin again.

So yeah, maybe the relationship ended.

Maybe the job disappeared.

Maybe the book you wrote Maybe the job disappeared.

Maybe the book you wrote didn't sell and the launch flopped and that thing you poured your whole heart into.

Maybe it didn't go the way you planned.

Okay.

That doesn't mean it's over.

That doesn't mean you're over.
