Summary

#273: How often do you find yourself mired in stories filled with past regrets? Thinking about "what could have been" may feel constructive, but on the podcast this week, I'm exploring why these thought patterns don't serve you the way you think they do.

Tune in this week to learn why regret doesn’t change a darn thing, and how living in regret is a form of self-abandonment. You’ll hear how staying stuck in regret doesn’t save you from old patterns, what becomes possible when you ditch regret for good, and most importantly, my four-step remedy for beginning to heal regret.

0:52.8	I'll say it's not like a topic that comes up a lot, but for like three people in a week to be like, you know,
0:59.3	I just keep replaying in my mind if I hadn't dated that guy or if I hadn't broken up with her, if I hadn't
1:05.2	gone there with them, if I hadn't done.
1:09.0	And letting our brains and their wild negativity bias paint some like otherwise rosy picture of life based on conjecture.

1:34.6	And of course, because it wouldn't be feminist wellness without remedies,
