Regrets serve as valuable lessons that shape future behavior. Regrets of commission, actions taken that lead to negative outcomes, are important to acknowledge and learn from in order to make better choices in the future.

Conversations about death are often uncomfortable and avoided by many. However, open and honest discussions about death and mortality can help us live more intentionally and clarify what truly matters in our day-to-day lives. Today’s guest wants us to get truly comfortable with death—to start living.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with executive coach and author Jodi Wellman. Jodi shows us how embracing the idea of our mortality can help us fully live. She suggests implementing a "mortality math" exercise and practice to change your perspective on death and shares lessons learned from near-death experiences. Jodi also provides insightful questions to help you take inventory of your life and find your purpose.
Jodi Wellman is a former corporate executive turned executive coach and author.
