Regret: All the Ways It Can Actually Serve You – 058
Regret: such a short word that can carry massive weight! Do you know the feeling? Is there something you wish you had done or not done that still lingers on your mind—days, weeks, months, or even years later?
Sometimes we can find ourselves contemplating the adverse effects of regret, and we reflect on the past with a significant amount of sadness. In this episode, Darlene and Julie discuss some of their regrets, and they discuss how letting them propel you forward might be the perspective shift we need to become the strong women we want to be: ones who learn from our past. Let’s allow the experience, not the regret, to be our guide and give ourselves grace as we step forward with grit and confidence.
