Then, we sat with the idea that [regret isn’t the enemy]; it’s a teacher pointing us back to what we…
Last week, I wrote about the freedom that comes from accepting that nobody has it all figured out. If you missed it, go catch up, because today I want to build on that idea and tackle something I hear all the time, a phrase that sounds inspiring but actually gets it backward. “No regrets.” You…
I spent years believing there was a secret handbook for life that everyone else had read and I’d somehow missed. You know the feeling.
