00:00:18.368 --> 00:00:22.448
"Knock, knock." "Who's there?"
"Lynda." "Lynda who?"

2
00:00:23.208 --> 00:00:28.128
'Lynda: Rooted&Real.'
So, this is your third episode

3
00:00:29.848 --> 00:00:34.248
for you, the woman who got forgotten.

4
00:00:36.128 --> 00:00:38.848
So today's, 'You Can Start Again'.

5
00:00:39.928 --> 00:00:43.208
So to the woman who thinks
it's too late, it's not.

6
00:00:44.248 --> 00:00:45.448
You can start again.

7
00:00:46.288 --> 00:00:52.808
At 30, at 40, at 55, even at 70.

8
00:00:53.048 --> 00:00:55.128
Your timeline is not ruined, okay?

9
00:00:55.648 --> 00:00:58.008
Maybe you put your career
on pause for your family.

10
00:00:58.248 --> 00:01:02.008
Maybe your marriage ended and
you had to rebuild from zero.

11
00:01:02.608 --> 00:01:07.288
Maybe you looked up and realised you
built a life that doesn't fit you anymore.

12
00:01:08.808 --> 00:01:12.488
And now that voice says,
"It's too late for me.

13
00:01:13.128 --> 00:01:17.023
I missed my chance, 'woiye' (pity on me)."
But who told you there was a

14
00:01:17.048 --> 00:01:20.008
deadline becoming yourself?
You're not behind.

15
00:01:20.608 --> 00:01:21.968
You're on your own path.

16
00:01:22.448 --> 00:01:27.088
Those years you spent surviving, raising,
giving, holding it together,

17
00:01:27.368 --> 00:01:28.328
they were not wasted.

18
00:01:29.128 --> 00:01:30.088
They were training.

19
00:01:30.688 --> 00:01:36.783
They gave you wisdom,
Resilience, compassion, patience,

20
00:01:36.808 --> 00:01:40.328
self-control that a
20-year-old doesn't have.

21
00:01:41.048 --> 00:01:44.048
So yes, you can start again.

22
00:01:44.488 --> 00:01:46.168
You can go back to school.

23
00:01:46.448 --> 00:01:49.008
You can start that small
business from your kitchen table.

24
00:01:49.208 --> 00:01:51.688
You can leave that relationship.

25
00:01:52.128 --> 00:01:55.488
You can learn to be alone and love it.

26
00:01:55.848 --> 00:02:02.288
You can pick up that old hobby and
be terrible at it and love it anyway.

27
00:02:03.568 --> 00:02:05.568
Starting again doesn't
mean you failed before.

28
00:02:06.208 --> 00:02:09.928
It means you're brave enough
to choose yourself now.

29
00:02:10.528 --> 00:02:13.248
No one is going to give you
permission, so guess what?

30
00:02:14.048 --> 00:02:15.448
I'm giving it to you.

31
00:02:16.288 --> 00:02:19.088
Permission to rewrite your story.

32
00:02:19.688 --> 00:02:23.008
Permission to be a beginner again.

33
00:02:24.088 --> 00:02:25.248
Your age is not a limit.

34
00:02:26.088 --> 00:02:27.248
It's leverage.

35
00:02:28.328 --> 00:02:36.168
The woman you are
needs the woman you were to get here.

36
00:02:37.528 --> 00:02:42.048
So take that first, messy,
imperfect, scary step.

37
00:02:43.128 --> 00:02:44.208
You can start again.

38
00:02:45.688 --> 00:02:49.768
And yes, you can start today.
