Resentment is a complex emotion that can arise from a variety of experiences, such as feeling slighted or wronged by another person, perceiving an injustice or unfairness, or experiencing a sense of powerlessness or helplessness. It is a feeling of bitterness or anger that can be directed toward individuals, groups, or even society as a whole. Are you holding on to some resentment in your life? If so, this is the episode for you!
Regret can be accompanied by guilt, embarrassment, and self-blame. It can include asking yourself a lot of hypothetical questions: “What if I acted differently? What if I took that opportunity? What if I didn't say what I said?” Do you live with regret? Listen to find out!
What is bitter? It's feelings, emotions, and how you act toward others. Most often it's saying mean things that hurt people, feeling hatred, or feeling sorry for yourself. It can also be picking fights to be antagonistic or vindictive and spiteful. It typically involves a ton of resentment and feeling like life isn't fair. And bitterness can taint everything. Fortunately, it usually fades with time and perspective. But if it's too strong or lingers for too long, bitterness can keep you from moving forward and healing. And that can make it very hard for you to have fulfilling, healthy relationships, friendships, and experiences.

This is a great episode y'all!

Your “inner child” is a part of your subconscious that has been picking up messages way before it was able to fully process what was going on (mentally and emotionally). It holds emotions, memories, and beliefs from the past as well as hopes and dreams for the future. This is a good episode y'all!
