5 Superpowers Revealed in Starting Over

The Setup for Super Power Activation:

5 Superpowers I hope I reveal as I start over once again.  Yes.  I find myself jobless.  I still have streams of income, thankfully.  But my full time gig is null and void.

I found a fabulous part time job that paid as much as my former full time job.  After giving my resignation, I took some time off to train through Quickbooks, as I prepared for my new position.  Unfortunately, the new company called, they no longer wanted to hire me.

Thus, I am currently reinventing my life once again.  I am hopeful that you see the following superpowers manifest as I super charge a miraculous comeback.

The first Super Power Revealed in starting over:

1. Radical Resilience

This isn’t just “bouncing back.” Bouncing back implies returning to the original shape. Radical Resilience is the superpower of bouncing forward. It’s the discovery that you are not made of glass; you are made of something far more elastic and durable. Devastation is the ultimate stress test. The person who makes a comeback discovers that their capacity to endure and to heal in magnitudes greater than they ever imagined. The comeback itself is the evidence of this superpower, and once known, it instills a foundational confidence that few other life events can.

Two divorces, a church excommunication, and countless broken relationships later; I pray I am the legend who can reinvent myself better than ever before.

For honesty sake, I am not responsible for all these resurrections.  There is absolutely no way I could do this without the power of God helping me.  Only with the power of Christ could I keep a sane mind in the midst of such destruction.  Thank You Jesus!

This leads to the Second Superpower of starting over and bouncing back:

2. Profound Clarity

Devastation is a terrible but effective filter. It violently strips away the trivial, the petty, and the non-essential. All the things you thought mattered—social status, minor anxieties, old grudges, material possessions—are vaporized. What’s left is the absolute, undeniable core of what is important: life, love, health, and purpose. This superpower is like X-ray vision. It allows a person to see through social noise and make decisions with a powerful, focused precision that was impossible before.

Friends are losing their minds over the government shut down and I am encased in the never ending mission to send out resumes, network, and pick up small jobs for cash.  I am eternally grateful to my family for helping me through this time.  Without them, I would most likely be living in a shelter or on friends couches for days on end.

The perspective sure shifts when the bottom falls out.  It has been torture, yet possibly equally refreshing.

And onto the third, Superpower I pray I am manifesting in starting over…

3. Adaptive Ingenuity

When the “Plan A” of your life is completely obliterated, there is no map. There is no path. You are forced off-road, into the wilderness. This is where Adaptive Ingenuity is born. It’s a superpower of creative problem-solving and pure innovation. You are forced to build a new life, a new career, or a new sense of self from the rubble. This power reveals your ability to pivot, to learn, and to construct a new reality from materials you didn’t even know were available to you.

This, friends, is where I become so vulnerable (gulp).  For about a year now, I have brainstormed a cohort where I would gather liked aged and minded women together.  We would meet for six week sessions, creating income around our wildest dreams.  This off grid dream is almost a reality.  I am seeking sixteen women: eight ages 43 and under, and eight women 44 and over to partake of my Beta Build our Empire Cohort!

In the Build our Empire Cohort, the homework and self discovery will be fluid.  We will come together and create brands, products, and services that will bring us the income to facilitate the life of our dreams.  After the six week cohort, we will be able to have a step by step plan to build the empire we have always dreamed of!

This wilderness idea, became more of a necessity for me without my full time job.  If you would like to be a part of my “Donation Only,” Beta group, reach out.  I will send you the intake forms and we can see if you are a fit.

The Fourth Super Power that I am quite certain I am manifesting as I am starting over is:

4. Deep Empathy

Before devastation, sympathy is often an intellectual exercise (“Oh, that must be so hard”). After devastation, empathy becomes a visceral, physical sense. When you have lived in the deepest darkness, you gain the ability to recognize the pain in others without fear. You are no longer afraid of their grief because you have survived your own. This superpower allows you to connect with others on a fundamental human level, offering a kind of comfort and understanding that is impossible to fake. Your scars become a language.

My biggest people group that I empathize towards at this moment are the homeless.  They could be me.  It is getting cold in Ohio.  My heart pangs for the marginalized.  Maybe one day I can help solve such devastation as homelessness.  I pray, “God use me.”

The 5th and final superpower I hope I am embodying is:

5. Fearless Authenticity

When you have faced your absolute worst-case scenario—and you are still standing—the “lesser” fears that used to rule your life lose their power. The fear of judgment, the fear of public speaking, the fear of failure, the fear of “what will they think?”… all of it seems almost comical in comparison. This gives rise to Fearless Authenticity. It is the freedom to be unapologetically yourself, to speak your truth, and to build a new life that is in 100% alignment with your hard-won values, not with anyone else’s expectations.

I’ve said it all my life, if I ever try to be fake, my facial expressions give it away!  My heart is saved, my body language isn’t.  Pray for me.

It is my hope my authentic self emulates gratitude in this season.  Gratitude for endless possibilities.  I am so humbly thankful for Young Living and the income I receive there.  Overly grateful am I for the money that comes in through Meta.  Amazon associates income always helps too.

In the name of necessity and authenticity, I have also authored some E books that I am hopeful bring in more income in the future.  I will begin to promote them all in good time.  Authentically, I hope these books help others achieve their full potential!

Summing up the 5 Superpowers of Starting Over:

It is my hope that if you see me bounce back higher after hitting a real low, you see you can do it too.  I pray your come back is greater than mine.

Let’s take a moment and revel in the fact that life is very fragile.  I hope we all soften and help others during this time.

As some are actually losing their minds, finding themselves in massively dire circumstances with the government shut downs, threats of deportations, and more – my hope is that we consider others.  In this Holiday season, let’s concentrate on not making ourselves successful, but let’s boost others to greater things than our little selves can achieve alone.

Another help for starting over is this giant year long dry erase calendar.  It helps keeps us certain in being intentional throughout the whole year.

Please share in the comments below what superpowers have been revealed in your life as you have started over.  Please share the circumstances around your comeback as well.  Your story will be someone else’s survival guide.  Thank you for your participation.

Remember: Action takers are money makers.  

PS.  If you are interested in either cohort, please let me know.  I am thinking about hosting them on Googlemeet, which is free to everyone.  #bestdaysahead
