Welcome to the 100th episode of The Bite-Sized Brilliance Podcast!

To celebrate, Dr. April Darley shares the three most life changing pieces of advice she has ever received.

These lessons were not learned all at once. They came from different seasons of life, different careers, and different moments of reckoning.

Each one fundamentally shifted how April relates to guilt, choice, responsibility, and personal power.

This episode weaves personal stories with neuroscience, mindset work, and real-world application. It's practical, honest, and deeply empowering.

You'll hear why guilt is not a requirement, how realizing you always have a choice changes everything, and why the question is never whether you can do something but whether you are willing to.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step. It is also a thank you to the listeners who have made 100 episodes possible.
