We start all episodes of Let's Relieve Regret with a Check-In and Causes for Applause.
During this episode, we discuss being a solopreneur, different types of spas and the possibility of watching a baby bird being hatched in real life!
To skip the check-in and get right to the regrets segment, please tune in at 17:32

During the regrets segment, Shadoe opens up about admiring cynicism and judging happy people.
This leads to a conversation about how people that feel like misfits can sometimes use cynicism as a shield as well as a way to attack others.

We also discussed the movie Mean Girls, personality assessments and the 'knowledge of knowledge.

Then, Emily opens up about financial regrets; mainly around not taking the advice she received at a young age. She strongly believed in her marriage and had hope that contributing to her husbands retirement funds would be the best choice.
This leads to a conversation about the shame that surrounds money in the first place, including separate finances, judging our friends and that invincible feeling of "that will not be me."
On the positive side, Emily is excited to move forward with her business. She is able to lead through ambiguity. Sometimes, starting over is exactly what we need, especially if it feels scary!

As always, we end the episode with 3 breaths. This season, the breaths are about abundance!

Then, Louise shares her regret about staying in a relationship with a covert narcissist for too long.
We then have an intense conversation about narcissism, anxiety and going down the rabbit hole. We also discuss how much easier it is to focus on others instead of ourselves. For example, when Louise did leave her relationship; she became hyper-vigilant about her kids.

Victoria's regret is creating Inbox Chaos - having so many promotional emails that she misses important ones. The avoidance of sorting through this mess has impacted her own marketing!
Shadoe's regret is starting so many regrets with the word not. For example, she has never driven a motorcycle; and although she doesn't want to, she wants to have a cooler reason. Victoria correctly identifies that this is related to a fear - the fear of being uninteresting.
As always, we end our episode with 3 breaths of letting go.
