Roundtable: National Start Over Day
A breakup. A job layoff. An unmet goal. When failure, loss and disappointment happen, sometimes the best thing you can do is press reset. Today is National Start Over Day, and if you need a second (or third, fourth or fifth) chance, you’ll be encouraged by our guests’ stories as they share what it’s like to start over when life knocks you down.

Bob Paul is a marriage therapist with both expertise and cautionary tales aplenty. He’ll help you parse out what you must know before deciding to tie the knot.
