Olivia Dreizen Howell

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 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 life, like divorce, job loss, or any brave decision and major life change, we need the support, both in the form of support items for your home and the experts who become our hype team. Olivia's career began in the classroom as a middle school Latin, history, and drama teacher. After the birth of her first son, Olivia left the classroom and transitioned into managing social media for local businesses on Long Island. Over the next decade, her agency, March Lion Media, managed organic social media for brands, businesses, global entities, authors, entrepreneurs, television shows, and more. March Lion Media managed celebrities and influencers, securing brand sponsorships, press, and event deals. Olivia has spoken and taught social media to groups and businesses around Long Island and New York City. She is passionate about educating small business owners on marketing and press, which is the backbone of the Fresh Starts Expert Community. As a long-time freelance writer and community builder, Olivia is a super-connector who thrives in connecting people to each other and jobs, as seen with her work on YentaList, her daily remote job posting website. Born and raised on Long Island, Olivia attended a Quaker high school and Drew University, where she studied sociology and Classical Studies. Olivia currently lives in Huntington with her two amazing boys. In her spare time, she loves to watercolor, make handmade cards, read about generational trauma, listen to 90s music, and collect crystals. She's working on a romantic novel that has been in the works for far too long, and she hopes to eventually publish it before her children are too old to be totally embarrassed by it.
