Olivia Howell, Fresh Starts Registry
Olivia Howell is the co-founder and CEO of Fresh Starts Registry, the first and only platform for everything you need to begin again, including after divorce or breakup, moving, career changes, stepping into your truth, or starting again after grief. After her own divorce in 2019, Olivia had an 'aha moment' when she realized that we celebrate weddings and babies with a registry, but in the moments we really need to restock our lives, we need support. That support comes in the form of both items for our homes as well as the experts who become our hype team. That’s how Fresh Starts Registry was born (and it’s been featured in Forbes and The Wall Street Journal)! Olivia knew that if we could shift the narrative to celebrate and support people through brave life decisions, it would empower them on their fresh start journey. She believes that when you change the things around you, the things around you change. Olivia is a certified life coach, clinical hypnotherapist and NLP. She is also the co-host, producer, and editor of A Fresh Story. Connect with Olivia for inspiration, tips, and advice about beginning again.IG: @freshstartregistryFB: Fresh Start RegistryLI: Fresh Starts RegistryX: @FreshStartsHere
