Let's Relieve Regret Podcast
Our regrets are stories we tell ourselves. If we are constantly worrying about the past, we are continuing to support that belief in our current reality. We were curious about what would happen if we released these worries regularly so that we can rewrite the stories we tell ourselves. So we decided to do an experiment - What happens if we dedicate time to releasing our regrets? This is a show where we take a moment to reveal the messy bits about ourselves, without judgement. It’s a show where we can reflect, learn, grow and maybe even laugh about our actions, attitudes and behaviours. It’s a place where we can speak our past, and learn from it.
Join my friend Shadoe and I as we explore this journey.
