We're talking about buyer's remorse. We've all been there, even the most minimalistic among us. It's that moment when we purchase something, thinking it's essential or will improve our lives, only to realize later that we never really use it or wish we hadn't bought it. In this episode, Courtney & Bailey share tips on how to handle buyer's remorse and how to take a purchase pause while also sharing some recent products they regret buying.
