What comes to mind when you hear the phrase "a clean slate"? Maybe it conjures an image of fresh, untrodden snow—a bright white canvas untouched by the past. A new year offers that same sense of possibility: a reset button, a chance to rewrite your story, redefine your values, and set new intentions. It’s an opportunity to step forward with a renewed perspective, leaving behind the weight of old mistakes or regrets. In this episode of the Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom—along with wisdom from his former professor, Morrie Schwartz—explores what it means to begin again, and how embracing a clean slate can help us live with more purpose and clarity. As we step into this new chapter, consider what you'll leave behind—and more importantly, what you'll carry forward into the life you’re building. A new year, a new start, and a new chance to become the best version of yourself.
