Welcome to the Your World Within podcast. I'm Eddie Pinero. And in today's episode, I sit down with

The One and Only Brani, where this was a special conversation for me. Brani's been a hero of mine for a long

time, so to be able to sit down and have a one-on-one, it was pretty cool. I've referenced her work

in my videos and lectures and all over

the place, right? So, Brani is a three-time bestselling author, she's a motivational speaker,

best known for a book Top Five Regrets of the Dying, which is an international bestseller.

And that's what we spend the majority of, uh, of the conversation talking about

um, for those that haven't read the book, um, just a quick backstory. So the, the idea behind her book,

top five regs of the dying, she was a caregiver, uh, for people in their final days, right,

that, that knew they were going to die and she took care of them

and, you know, sort of made them comfortable. And the book talks about all these different

lessons that she learned while helping these folks, most of them older and age. A few not,

but most of them older. So they had wisdom. They were able to look back at the breadth of

their life and really gauge and analyze what they would have done differently. So these top five

regrets are the things that she found over time working with these folks. And I'm just going to

read through them because we didn't in the conversation and I feel like it would help lay some

groundwork. So the first regret that she found was people saying, I wish I had the courage

to live a life that was true to myself, not a life that others expected to me or expected of me.

Number two, I wish I hadn't worked so hard. Number three, I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.

Number four, I wish I'd stayed in touch with my friends.

And number five, I wish I'd let myself be happier.

And that's one that we spend a lot of time on.
