Today we’re pulling over to talk about something we all carry, regret. It has a bad reputation, but maybe it shouldn’t. Regret often sneaks up through the rearview mirror, disguised as guilt or shame. Yet when we take the time to look closer, it can become a powerful teacher. It reminds us what mattered, where we went off course, and what we want to do differently next time.

Hindsight has a way of making our missteps feel sharp, but that emotional awareness is a gift. Regret shows us our capacity for change. It helps us stop repeating patterns that no longer serve us and nudges us toward something better.

Think of it like riding a motorcycle. You don’t stare at the mirrors the whole time, but glancing back keeps you aware of what’s behind so you can ride forward with more intention. Regret isn’t meant to stall you. It’s meant to give you momentum.

Because if you’ve made it this far without a few emotional crash sites, you probably haven’t left the parking lot. So let’s talk about it, because sometimes, looking back is exactly what helps us move forward.
