The Terri Cole Show

I am so excited to welcome my wise pal, Vanessa Cornell, to the show to share her story of breaking down to break through. Vanessa had everything she could have ever dreamed of - a loving husband, five children, abundance and success - and yet, she felt trapped in a crushing and debilitating loneliness. (I'm sure many of you can relate!) We also talked about how to navigate mom guilt (and why it's really fear in disguise), how high-functioning codependency shows up in motherhood, how we're taught to be in the world and why it causes rage and resentment later on, and so much more. I hope you enjoy this heartfelt girlfriend jam as much as I did. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/637 P.S. - Grab Vanessa's free gift at nushu.com/terri

Do you endlessly think about the mistakes you've made? Do you replay the scene and ruminate over what you could have or should have done differently? Are you filled with regret, worried you'll make the same mistake again? If so, you're not alone. But living in regret is living in the past, which isn't empowering. What is healing and empowering is to work through our regrets and learn from them to make better decisions in the future. In this episode, I'm sharing a different perspective on regret which may lessen feelings of shame, the four types of regret (from behavioral scientist Daniel Pink), and how to move on from endless rumination.

While Jessica is most known for her work as a brand expert and entrepreneur, she is here to talk about her journey into the dark to find the light. We had such a beautiful, soulful, and nourishing conversation around Jessica's burn out, coming back to ourselves, navigating the shame we often feel around "failure," redefining success, AND how embracing the feminine helps us succeed. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/635
