The Regret Scam: No Wrong Path-Just Different Lessons

Alright, let’s get real. How many times have you sat there, paralyzed by a decision, convinced that one wrong move is going to send your entire life into a downward spiral? (Looking at you, late-night overthinkers.) Well, Cinnamon’s taking the wheel in this episode, and she’s bringing some serious perspective shifts.

What if there’s no such thing as a “right” or “wrong” decision? What if every choice—good, bad, or straight-up questionable—just leads you down a different road with its own set of lessons? Ever think about how many times you’ve chosen one route and hit every damn red light, only to realize that the road not taken could’ve had a six-car pileup? Yeah. Let that sink in.

In this episode, we’re challenging the myth of perfect choices and unpacking:

  • How hindsight bias makes us glorify the “what if” road
  • Why a pro/con list is basically lying to you
  • How curiosity—not fear—should be driving your lifeAnd why we all need to stop expecting every road to be a freaking smooth cruise

Bottom line? Stop beating yourself up over the choices you made. Every decision, every misstep, and every unexpected detour is a damn good chapter in your story. Now, buckle up and press play. 

Takeaway of the Week:
You’ve survived every single choice you’ve made so far—so what makes you think you won’t survive the next one?
