#177: How to Hold Regret Without it Holding You Back
A lot of people are carrying decisions from last year they wish had gone differently — and I don’t want you spending the entire first chunk of 2026 quietly recovering from 2025.
This episode is about how to experience regret without letting it define you, derail you, or keep you stuck in self-judgment.
You don’t need to get rid of regret. You just need a healthier relationship with it.
Here’s where we go today:
Why regret doesn’t HAVE TO mean you failed and need to pay penance with shame
How accepting that regret will happen actually prevents shame and self-blame
The difference between feeling regret and over-identifying with it
How it helps to identify thoughts and emotions when regret hits
The most important question to ask after regret shows up
If you’ve ever worried that regret means you “chose wrong,” this episode will help you move forward without punishing yourself.
