This Life or Something Better

The Wisdom Inside Regret


Listen Later

Regret can feel like a heavy backpack you have carried for years. It may start with one choice, one missed chance, one conversation, or one moment you wish had gone differently. Over time, that regret can begin to shape how you trust yourself, how you make decisions, and how you move forward in your life.

In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores regret as a teacher rather than a punishment. She shares how regret often comes from choices we made with the tools, awareness, and information we had at the time, and why we do not actually know that the other choice would have turned out better.

You'll learn how regret can point you back to your values, reveal what matters most, and help you make a new choice from where you are now. Priscilla also shares insight from her work as a medium and what loved ones in Spirit often express about the regrets they carried in life.

This episode includes reflection questions and a simple writing practice to help you begin moving regret out of your mind and onto the page, where you can find the wisdom inside it.

In this episode, you'll explore:

  • How regret affects more than one area of life
  • Why regret can become part of your identity
  • The wisdom hidden inside choices that did not work out
  • Why "no regrets" can be helpful in the moment but unrealistic as a life philosophy
  • How expressive writing can support emotional healing and clarity
  • What regret may be asking you to choose from this point forward

Regret does not have to keep you stuck in the past. It can become the doorway to more compassion, honesty, courage, and peace.

Keep reaching for your something better.
