remold

Shape once more

To remold is to mold again—to reshape something that was previously formed.

The word applies literally to physical materials: The sculptor remolded the clay into a new figure.

More often it's figurative, describing the reshaping of habits, institutions, or identities: She remolded herself after the divorce, attempts to remold the company's culture.
