(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.

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.
