Podcasts about Regret

Are we truly characters with agency, or are we just playing out our programming in the great video game of life? Contrary to those in his field who claim that free will is an illusion, neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell insists that we're agents who wield our decision-making mechanism for our own purposes. Listen as the author of Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will explains to EconTalk's Russ Roberts why the debate between free will and determinism rests on a flawed foundation, and how the evolution of the ability to make choices and take actions provides the best argument for human agency. Topics include why habits, rather than simply limiting our freedom, also help us live better lives, and the role emotions such as guilt, shame, and regret play in building our character.

Reflection can be uncomfortable, especially when the year did not go the way you planned.In this episode, I walk through why reflection is meant to create clarity, not self-punishment. The last month of the year often magnifies comparison, pressure, and second-guessing, but none of those move you forward. What does move you forward is learning the lesson, releasing the shame, and continuing to take action anyway.We talk about why you do not need a new year to create a new outcome, why readiness is a myth, and why discipline and consistency matter more than motivation. Whether this year felt successful, disappointing, or somewhere in between, your experience still holds value if you extract the lesson without letting it define you.In this episode, you will learn how to:Reflect without turning the past into regretSeparate emotion from execution while honoring bothDrop shame without avoiding accountabilityBuild momentum through small, consistent actionsFinish the year strong without burnout or pressureMove forward with clarity instead of comparisonThis conversation reframes reflection as a tool for alignment, not judgment. Progress does not require perfection, a fresh calendar, or the right feeling. It requires one decision, one action, and the willingness to move forward differently.Take the lesson. Drop the shame.

Have you ever had that one memory that sits in the back of your mind?  That thing you wish you'd done differently? Something you didn't say, something you did say, the opportunity you passed up, the relationship you didn't repair, or the career move you waited too long to make?  Most people don't just have one regret; they carry an entire portfolio of regrets with them.  And if you're an accountant, a tax preparer, or you're a high-stress professional, you likely have a detail-driven brain, and regret often impacts you a little differently. Because you're used to precision. You're used to accuracy. You're used to double-checking before you file anything. So when your brain looks back at your life, it tends to audit every moment with the same level of scrutiny.  And suddenly? Something from ten years ago starts feeling like a mistake you should have prevented.  Today, I want to help you rethink the entire emotional experience of regret.  What it is, what it does, why it feels so heavy, and how you can use it in a way that actually moves you forward in life instead of holding you back.  More importantly, I want to show you how The RE*INVENTION™ Process helps you transform regret.  This is one of the top emotions we work on inside the program.  And my clients tell me when they do this work, they stop using their past as evidence of what they think has gone wrong, and start using it as fuel for their future.  Let's dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

*Listener Discretion: This episode includes discussion of graphic violence and disturbing content. Some listeners may find it upsetting. Please take care while listening and consider skipping this episode if you are sensitive to these topics. In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Charu sits down with Bernard “Chalky” White to unpack a resilience-first life story that goes from childhood abuse to policing to a bold midlife pivot into ski instructing and global travel. The core framework is brutally simple and weirdly powerful. Two questions that cut through procrastination, fear and regret: “What if I don't?” and “What if I do?” Chalky explains how those questions helped him resign from a career he'd grown to hate, rebuild his identity and keep moving forward even after witnessing traumatic events on the job. If you're stuck in a loop of overthinking, low confidence or “I'm too late” energy, this conversation is a practical mindset reset focused on action, courage and mental health. About the Guest: Bernard “Chalky” White is a former UK police officer turned long-time ski instructor and author. He shares lessons from adversity, career reinvention and his book Keep Chewing the Granite: How Two Questions Can Change Your Life, built around a decision-making method designed to replace regret with forward motion. Key Takeaways: Resilience is not a personality trait. It is a repeatable decision you practice when life feels heavy and your options look limited. The “What if I don't?” question exposes real costs. Regret, stagnation and staying stuck in a career or identity that drains you. The “What if I do?” question creates momentum. It turns fear into a plan and replaces avoidance with intentional action. Procrastination often hides clarity. Chalky knew what he wanted for years, then one honest night of questions forced a clean decision. Reinvention is allowed at any age. Starting skiing at 26 and building a decades-long path proves “late” is usually just a story. Trauma can shape you without owning you. Chalky acknowledges hard memories while choosing humor, meaning and forward progress. A strong mindset is not “positive vibes.” It is confronting consequences, choosing courage and doing the tough stuff anyway. Simple tools scale. Two questions can support mental health, career change, confidence and decision-making across business and life. When you feel stuck, ask better questions. Then take one small step that matches the answer you actually want to live.

This week's solo episode I pick back up with Morgan Housel's The Art of Spending Money. As I read through it, the book continues to prove how much of our relationship with money is shaped by our upbringing and expectations. I discuss why contentment matters as much as income, why comparison is not only the thief of joy but can be poisonous, and how money buys freedom only when you stop letting others' opinions steer your choices.I also dig into the bigger themes Housel raises around happiness, independence, and the quiet traps people fall into when they chase status instead of meaning. It's a reminder that good money decisions start in your head long before they show up in your bank account.Also this week's biggest political and financial stories – from Venezuela tensions and US military moves to IQ data, poverty studies, S&P dominance, housing costs, global investing trends, consumer stats, America's shifting cultural landscape, and much more.

Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse presents a contrast of the dreariness of this domain and the prosperity of the lady’s home. வேர் முழுது உலறி நின்ற புழற்கால்,தேர் மணி இசையின் சிள்வீடு ஆர்க்கும்,வற்றல் மரத்த பொற் தலை ஓதிவெயிற் கவின் இழந்த வைப்பின் பையுள் கொள,நுண்ணிதின் நிவக்கும் வெண் ஞெமை வியன் காட்டுஆள் இல் அத்தத்து, அளியள் அவனொடுவாள்வரி பொருத புண் கூர் யானைபுகர் சிதை முகத்த குருதி வார,உயர் சிமை நெடுங் கோட்டு உரும் என முழங்கும்”அருஞ் சுரம் இறந்தனள்” என்ப பெருஞ் சீர்அன்னி குறுக்கைப் பறந்தலை, திதியன்தொல் நிலை முழு முதல் துமியப் பண்ணியநன்னர் மெல் இணர்ப் புன்னை போல,கடு நவைப் படீஇயர்மாதோ களி மயில்குஞ்சரக் குரல குருகோடு ஆலும்,துஞ்சா முழவின், துய்த்து இயல் வாழ்க்கை,கூழுடைத் தந்தை இடனுடை வரைப்பின்,ஊழ் அடி ஒதுங்கினும் உயங்கும் ஐம் பாற்சிறு பல் கூந்தற் போது பிடித்து அருளாது,எறி கோல் சிதைய நூறவும் சிறுபுறம்,”எனக்கு உரித்து” என்னாள், நின்ற என்அமர்க் கண் அஞ்ஞையை அலைத்த கையே! A deep dive into this domain, as we listen to the lady’s mother say these words, at the juncture she learns of her daughter’s elopement with her man: “In the hollow trunk of a tree that has dried up from root to tip, crickets resound with the sound of chariot bells. Upon this parched tree, standing amidst a place that has lost its beauty owing to the scorching heat, a golden-headed lizard, crawls up with much suffering, in those wide spaces of the uninhabited drylands, filled with axle-wood trees. After fighting with the tiger, having sword-like stripes, the wounded elephant, with blood dripping from its crushed, spotted face, trumpets akin to thunder that resounds in the soaring peaks of tall hills. To such a formidable drylands, my poor girl has left with him, they say! In the spacious mansion of her prosperous father, where ecstatic peacocks and birds with elephantine voices, call aloud, and drums roar ceaselessly, living a life of plenty and comfort, she would feel sorrowful even if she were to miss a step and stumble. Catching hold of the garland tied tightly to her thick tresses with five-part braids, without any grace, shattering the stick, when I struck again and again, acting as if her little back was not even hers, she stood still, that daughter of mine with exquisite eyes. May these hands that made her suffer so, become utterly ruined like the ‘Laurelwood tree' with fine and soft flower clusters, belonging to Thithiyan, when it was chopped at its trunk of many years, by the famous ‘Anni' at the ‘Kurukkai' battlefield!” Let’s brave the parched air of the drylands and walk on! Mother starts by describing this domain, and to do that, she brings before us, a seared tree, which seems not to have a drop of water right from its root to the tip of its topmost branch. From inside the hollows of this tree, crickets resound and a reptile, possibly the Indian golden gecko, treads upon it, with much languish. There’s sweltering heat everywhere, and not a sign of any human around. Here, after a clash with a tiger, a bleeding elephant walks about, roaring like the thunder in the mountains, mother continues. She then connects this place to her situation saying this is where her daughter had left to, with her beloved.  Then, from these impossible places, she turns to describe the lady’s home, talking about her rich father, the wide mansion, where peacocks and birds, which trumpet like elephants, are to be found. A moment to ponder on what bird this might be! On searching, I learnt that it could be the Great Hornbill that has a unique, loud voice, somewhat close to an elephant’s trumpet. Possibly, the mansion had hornbills and peacocks brought in from the mountains to adorn it! Returning, mother continues by talking about how drums resound ceaselessly, possibly indicating this was the house of some lord or king, always winning at battles. Mother says that the lady lived such a comfortable life that her only pain or suffering would come, when she happened to stumble a little when walking about. What a blessed teenager to have nothing to worry about, but a misplaced foot!  Getting back on track, after these rendition of the pleasant past of the lady, mother turns her focus to something she did recently. She seems to have struck the lady so fiercely that the stick broke, but still her girl stood there as if her back did not even belong to her, unflinching, not displaying any emotion. Now, mother realises that the lady had made up her mind to leave her home with her man and that’s why she could face that, with such calm. Mother is overcome with guilt at what she has done and wishes that her hands fall to ruin, just like Thithiyan’s ‘Punnai’ tree, felled by his enemy Anni, in the ‘Kurukkai’ battlefield! Seeing with our modern eyes, it is indeed truly shocking to read that a mother would cane her daughter so, but possibly those times were such that something like this wasn’t given much thought! What’s relatable though is how we are overcome with guilt about an incident, where we have been harsh to another, when we later realise what the other had been going through. That’s the moment we need to make amends and hope for their forgiveness. Reversing to the past, let’s part by wishing this ancient mother’s cry of repentance reaches the ears of her daughter and reminds her of a mother’s undying love in the faraway drylands!

A shadowed king who hates war leads an “evil” empire with a softer hand than his reputation suggests—and the world still trembles. We dive into Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, where 4X strategy logic becomes the law of a living isekai: fog of war, resource scarcity, city growth, hero summons, scripted events, and late-game bosses that crash into personal vows and fragile alliances. If you've ever optimized a tech tree at 2 a.m., this story will feel both familiar and unsettling.We unpack Takuto's rise with Atou at his side, the dark elves' loyalty forged through food and trust, and the careful build of Mynoghra from research to production. Isla's arrival as queen of bugs adds domestic muscle and battlefield poise—until a scripted lock forces her sacrifice. That loss cracks the narrative wide open as Caria and Maria transform from attendants into the "Witches of Regret", dispensing ruthless justice on demon generals with powers that read like status effects made real. Along the way, saints clash with witches, brain eaters test diplomacy by terror, and a rogue RPG player snipes the demon lord before fleeing with a censored-name companion, reminding us that systems invite external chaos.What makes Mynoghra stand out is how cleanly it respects game mechanics without hand-waving. The world treats events, classes, and dice as binding rules. Takoto's ethics sharpen under pressure: he rejects needless war, feeds the hungry, and still embraces the clarity of an Ascension victory when Minagura suffers losses. We talk pacing, art choices, boss design, and the show's willingness to commit to consequences. For strategy fans and dark fantasy lovers, it's a compelling blend of empire management, moral ambiguity, and high-stakes combat that earns our 8/10 recommendation.If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show, share with a friend who loves 4X strategy games and isekai anime, and leave a quick review so more strategy nerds can find us.

Yvette Walts opens up about the pressure tied to Dance Moms fame, the panic attacks that surfaced once episodes aired, and the steady purpose that guides her work as a studio owner.   John Corella invites her to revisit the intense reality-TV environment that shaped so much of her early public life, and the conversation turns into an honest look at what happens when you see a version of yourself on screen that doesn't match who you believe you are. How do you process that kind of shock? What helps you find your footing again? Yvette shares the role her community played as she worked through anxiety and self-forgiveness and she reflects on the difference between reacting in the moment and living with those reactions once millions of people have seen them.   Yvette also brings forward two decades of insight from owning a dance studio and explains how structure, clarity, and genuine care built a space where more than a thousand students feel supported. What does it take to create a place that feels safe for growth? How do you lead with both expectation and compassion? Through stories from AUDC and Dance Moms and through reflections on panic attacks and leadership, this episode shows the resilience required to stay centered in a world that rarely gives you time to catch your breath.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Yvette Walts Joins John Corella 03:08 Behind the Scenes of AUDC 05:48 Reacting Under Stress on Reality TV 07:30 Regret, Self-Forgiveness, and Online Judgment 08:58 Panic Attacks After Seeing Herself on TV 19:47 From Gymnastics to Owning a Dance Studio 25:08 How Dance Moms Impacted Her Business 32:18 How Her Teaching Style Evolved Over Time 48:12 The Systems Behind a 1,100-Student Studio 49:53 Creating a Full Studio Experience 53:25 Advice for Studio Owners on Brand and Culture 01:00:06 Creative Influences and Final Reflections Connect with Yvette Walts: Follow Yvette on Instagram Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

In this week's podcast I am building from last week's podcast on the Power of Reflection. I felt the need to clarify why we should look back, but also remind you when you look back it's not for regret, what was or condemnation. We are never meant to get stuck in the past. God wants us to move forward. However, our mind will tell us what we should have, could have and would have. You were never meant to live in regret. God promises us true freedom with him and how we are a new creation. God wants to do a new thing, but are you getting stuck in the regret of yesterday?This episode is for you if:-you need to be reminded who God says you are-you often stay stuck and dwell on past mistakes-your mind operates in old ways and old patterns.You were never meant to live in yesterday, what God has for you is ahead of you!If anything spoke to you and you want to share feel free to email me at:christina@christinajolly.comI have a FREE resource for you!!

Most people talk about space power like it's a solved problem. Big arrays, rigid panels, high-efficiency silicon; the same architecture we've been flying for decades.  But the more you look at where national security and commercial space are headed, the clearer it becomes: our power systems weren't designed for the missions we're trying to execute today. Space is no longer a passive environment. It's dynamic, congested, competitive, and increasingly contested. If you're operating a satellite that needs to reposition, evade, maneuver, or maintain persistent awareness over the oceans, every kilogram of mass and every square inch of surface area starts to matter. Traditional solar arrays generate plenty of power, but they come with a hidden cost: fragility, deployment complexity, and a form factor that locks spacecraft into decisions they can't easily undo. Thin-film solar panels change that. When you can generate meaningful power without rigid wings. When your power source can be wrapped around a body, integrated into a surface, or rolled out without fear of shattering, Maneuverability becomes an asset instead of a liability.  High-radiation orbits are more viable, high-voltage architectures make sense, and persistent maritime sensing becomes more realistic. And the same characteristics that matter in orbit start unlocking terrestrial defense applications as well. What are some of the new opportunities arising for thin-film solar? How are they able to ability to fulfill smaller, specialized, high-value orders quickly? In this episode, I sit down with the CEO of Ascent Solar, Paul Warley. We talk about how thin-film is reshaping what's possible in orbit, why defense customers are paying attention, and how a microcap manufacturer found itself aligned with some of the biggest trends in national security and space power.   You'll also learn; Why maneuverability is becoming the real strategic advantage in orbit How thin-film's flexibility and high-voltage capability unlock new spacecraft architectures Why reaching 12–13% efficiency is a tipping point that suddenly makes thin-film viable for LEO, MEO, and even high-radiation GEO missions. How defense customers are rethinking power as mission profiles shift Why thin-film's resilience in high-radiation and atomic oxygen environments gives it advantages that silicon can't match. What the increasing launch cadence means for power requirements, mass budgets, and the economics of spacecraft design. How decades of sunk R&D and process knowledge create a moat that would be difficult and expensive for new entrants to replicate. Where Paul sees thin-film fitting into the future of both defense and space operations, from niche platforms to major programs. About the Guest Paul Warley is the President and CEO of Ascent Solar, a small microcap company in Colorado. Ascent's thin-film is the solar power solution for scenarios where traditional rigid panels won't work. Ascent brings together 20+ years of R&D, 17 years of manufacturing experience, numerous awards, and a comprehensive IP and patent portfolio to cement its leadership in the photovoltaics market.

Piers Morgan's interview with Nick Fuentes on Monday resulted in miles of newspaper columns, endless hours of YouTube commentary and thousands of social media comments. It was to be expected, what with Fuentes' rising notoriety - but what we didn't expect was how incensed Nick's army of ‘groypers' would be by some of the events that unfolded in the discussion. Nor the abuse directed towards Piers and his family. But is Fuentes just performative, outrageous and attention-seeking? Or does he really believe the most incendiary things that he says? And if the answer to that question is yes, how did he get there? Joining Uncensored to discuss the interview and the furore that's followed is Dr Phil, critical thinker Warren Smith, The Crucible host Andrew Wilson, influencer Harry Sisson, System Update host Glenn Greenwald and Bet News host Marc Lamont Hill and author Danny Finkelstein.

Steve spent more than two decades building video games, working with a team that felt more like family than coworkers. By all measures, he loved his work. But a heart attack in 2021 changed everything, and it became the moment that pushed him to rethink the one thing he'd always said he wanted someday: an early retirement.In this episode, Steve sits down with James Conole, CFP®, to share how a health scare, a divorce, and years of slowly learning how to budget and invest turned into the freedom he now wakes up to every day. He didn't leave work because he hated his job. He left because he finally understood how valuable his time had become and how much life he still wanted to live.Steve talks about losing 70 pounds, rebuilding his health through trial-and-error fitness routines, and the joy of discovering things he never had energy for during his career: jazz bands, improv lessons, spontaneous travel, and even acting classes. He also opens up about moving back to Arizona just in time to support his mom through a cancer diagnosis, a moment that revealed exactly how meaningful this new freedom is.His story is a reminder that retirement isn't just a math problem. It's a life problem that you can solve by knowing what you value and experimenting until your days feel like your own again. And for Steve, these last two and half years have been better than he imagined.Watch this episode of Retirement Reality — where real retirees share the wake-up calls, reinventions, and surprising joys that define life on the other side of work.Want to be a guest on James' show to help others by sharing your story?

I just wrapped up several hours of difficult conversations stacked back-to-back, and I want to share something that changed my entire management career: the conversations that are going to have the biggest impact on your business are the ones that are really fucking hard. There's almost a direct correlation between how difficult a conversation is and how much impact it has. Yet we avoid them—for days, weeks, months, sometimes years. I've talked to business owners who've let problems fester for years because they don't want the discomfort of a 30-minute conversation. Here's what helped me: reframing these conversations entirely. When you avoid the hard talk, you're not actually avoiding discomfort—you're just reducing its intensity and spreading it out over time, sometimes forever. That nagging voice in your head saying "you know you should be doing that" never goes away until you do it. But after you have that conversation? You feel stronger, empowered, and you immediately wonder who else you need to talk to. This episode breaks down why avoiding these conversations is negligence, how to reframe the temporary discomfort versus permanent relief, and why this muscle becomes addictive once you experience the benefits. If there's a conversation you're avoiding right now, consider this your sign.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

To lament means to express sorrow, mourning, or regret; to grieve openly or to mourn aloud, and there is one entire book of the Bible most often ignored by our culture, obsessed with happiness and pleasure, called Lamentations. In this journey, we will explore the five poems contained in the book and allow the Scriptures to lead us to morning, healing, and hope as we navigate a world filled with pain and suffering. This week, we encounter Lamentations 5:1-22 ESV and how we confront regret to discover hope and healing in Christ. Scripture: Lamentations 5:1-22 ESV Speaker: Michael Bayne

In today's Regretful Parents episode, Erika and Kristen dive into a viral story from the I Regret Having Children Facebook page — and this time, it's not a confession but a financial horror story. An Ohio mom's TikTok exploded online after revealing the NICU bill for her premature quadruplets: $4.04 million. Erika and Kristen unpack the wild reality of childbirth costs in America, why one medical complication can financially ruin a family overnight, and how unpredictable — and brutally expensive — pregnancy and birth can be. Inside this episode:• A NICU bill for quadruplets that hit $4 million• Why childbirth and complications are financially catastrophic in the U.S.• Parents of twins facing $11 million in NICU charges• How insurance actually works (and doesn't) for medically complex births• Hidden hospital costs, nonsense itemized charges & billing scams• Why “just have kids” ignores medical and financial reality• The emotional toll of raising premature or medically fragile infants• Why the childfree movement keeps gaining traction• The fear, uncertainty, and chaos behind “miracle baby” stories• Why influencers oversimplify parenthood into “children are a blessing”• U.S. healthcare vs. Europe's systems — and who ends up paying

6/8. The Great Slaughter: Audubon's Regret and the Lewis and Clark Grizzly Massacre — Dan Flores — The opening of the American West initiated an unprecedented destruction of animal populations. Flores documents that John James Audubon, while initially killing wildlife subjects for his ornithological artwork, eventually expressed profound regret regarding the systematic destruction of mammals including buffalo herds. Flores notes that the Lewis and Clark Expedition mirrored prevailing colonial attitudes; Meriwether Lewis permitted subordinates to transform grizzly bearhunting into recreational sport, resulting in at least half of the 37 encountered bears being killed without apparent practical justification, representing callous wastage of irreplaceable fauna.
