Letting Regret Teach You

Send us Fan Mail  - What if your regrets aren’t burdens to carry forever, but visiting teachers here to deliver a lesson and then move on? In this episode of The Soul Podcast, I explore how to transform regret from a source of lingering pain into a powerful tool for growth and freedom. Drawing on wisdom from best-selling author Dan Pink, Stoic philosopher Epictetus, psychologist Carl Jung, and insights from psychology and contemplative spirituality, you’ll discover how regret can clarify what we value and guide wiser living—when we meet it with self-compassion instead of self-criticism. Through a personal story, practical tools, and a simple heart-centered practice, learn how to release the pull of the past, embrace presence, and turn old regrets into stepping stones for greater joy and authenticity. If you’re ready to stop letting yesterday hold you back and walk forward with more lightness and peace, this episode is for you.Support the show and unlock bonus episodes for $5+ patrons: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheSoulPodSHOW NOTESQuotes:“Regret is healthy and universal. It’s an integral part of being human. Regret is also valuable. It clarifies, it instructs. Done right, it needn’t drag us down, it can lift us up. - Dan Pink“Every event has two handles, one by which it can be carried, and one by which it can’t. Use the other.” - Epictetus“If one does not constantly walk forward, the past sucks one back. The past is like an enormous sucking wind that sucks one back all the time. If you don’t go forward you regress. As soon as you begin to look backward sadly, or even scornfully, it has you again. The past is a tremendous power.” - Carl Jung“What was given to us by the past is adapted to the possibilities and demands of the future.” -Carl Jung“Living life in the spiritual dimension means letting go equally of past and future and being present for each moment as it arises.” -Not AttributedSocial Media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulpodstudioX @SoulPodcastShow Check Out The Soul Pod Video Channels:The SoulPod on RumbleThe SoulPod on YouTubeCoaching - For free 30 minute Discovery Call https://www.stacey-wheeler.com/ Support the showHas the show made a difference for you?
