turned the page
Started fresh chapter
Turned the page means moved past something and started fresh.
Literally, it's advancing to the next page of a book.
Figuratively, it describes leaving behind a chapter of one's life—a relationship, a failure, an era: After the divorce, she turned the page and focused on her career.
The phrase implies deliberate forward motion rather than dwelling on what came before.
