How much of your life is spent asking “What if?”

What if I’d taken that job?

What if I’d stayed?

What if I’d left?

What if I’d made a different decision?

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of walking away from an eight-year carpentry career, moving back and forth between Australia and the United States, being unexpectedly fired from a job I loved, and eventually finding myself owning a personal training studio I never planned to build.

Looking back, it would be easy to convince myself that every decision was either right or wrong. The truth is, I’ll never know what the roads I didn’t take would have looked like.

What I have learned is that there’s a huge difference between looking back for perspective and living there.

This episode isn’t about pretending the past didn’t matter. It’s about honouring the people, lessons, and seasons that shaped us without allowing them to become our permanent address.

If you’ve ever wrestled with regret, questioned a major life decision, or found yourself replaying the past, I hope this conversation encourages you to stop trying to rewrite old chapters and begin turning the page.

Remember the lessons. Carry the wisdom. Leave the regret behind.

Stay strong.
