The No Regrets Podcast by Living Well with Shell

How often do we stop and ask ourselves a really simple question: What do I actually need right now? Sometimes we know exactly what we need, but we ignore it. Sometimes we're so busy taking care of everyone and everything else that we've lost touch with our own answers. In this episode, I talk about the importance of checking in with ourselves, being honest about what we're feeling, and giving ourselves permission to recognize what we need—whether that's rest, space, connection, change, or simply a little more peace. Because knowing what you need isn't selfish. It's one of the ways you begin to truly know yourself—and create a life that feels right for you.

Sometimes we hold on so tightly to how we think things should be that we forget to simply breathe and allow life to unfold. In this episode, I explore what it means to let go—not of caring, but of forcing. To feel what we need to feel, release what no longer serves us, and trust that there can be something waiting for us on the other side of surrender. Maybe letting go isn't giving up. Maybe it's finally making room for what wants to flow into our lives.

Walk with me thru a week of my life and the challenges we have to overcome

"Loneliness can convince us that we’re disconnected from the world around us. This episode is a reminder that even in our quietest moments, we may be far less alone than we believe."

We move through life so quickly, often focused on what’s next, what’s missing, or what still needs to be fixed. But what if the real shift begins when we simply pause… and become present? In this episode, we take a moment to revisit where you are right now — not where you thought you’d be, not where you’re trying to get to, but here. It’s an invitation to gently re-evaluate your life, your direction, and the habits you’re carrying, with awareness instead of judgment. Because when you become present, you create the space to choose differently, to realign, and to move forward with intention.

What if the way we’ve been taught to think is only part of the picture? In this episode, I explore what it means to move into a higher way of seeing ourselves, our circumstances, and what’s truly possible. 5D thinking invites us to become more conscious, more intentional, and more connected to trust, clarity, and purpose. It’s not about escaping real life — it’s about learning to meet it from a different level. If you’ve been feeling called to think, choose, and live differently, this conversation may be exactly what you need.

In a world that can often feel chaotic and unpredictable, sometimes it’s the smallest moments that remind us where our true power lies. In this episode, I share a simple but meaningful encounter with a stranger — and how it became a reflection of choice, intention, and the habits we build in uncertain times. Reclaiming your power isn’t about control… it’s about how you show up, no matter what’s happening around you.

Sometimes life gives us a hard no when we were expecting a yes. This week’s episode was inspired by losing out on a house we truly wanted — a moment of disappointment that became a powerful reminder. Trusting the Divine doesn’t mean sitting back and waiting. It asks us to be clear about what we want, to take aligned action, and then to trust when the outcome looks different than we imagined. Rejection isn’t always a stop sign — sometimes it’s redirection. If you’ve ever thought, “That wasn’t the plan,” this conversation is for you. A gentle reminder that clarity, faith, and action work together — and that what’s meant for us won’t miss us.

House shopping can stir up everything — excitement, fear, hope, disappointment, control, and impatience — sometimes all in the same afternoon. In this episode, we talk about what happens when the plan doesn’t unfold the way we thought it would… and how learning to let go and let God can create space for clarity, peace, and better outcomes than we imagined. It’s about releasing the pressure to force decisions, trusting timing, and recognizing when something isn’t meant to work — not as a failure, but as guidance. Whether you’re searching for a home, navigating a big decision, or simply feeling stuck in the “what ifs,” this conversation is an invitation to soften your grip and listen a little deeper. Sometimes the right door doesn’t open right away — and sometimes that’s exactly the point.

How often do we react before we’ve even had a chance to think? In this episode, I explore how our first reaction to a situation is often driven by habit, fear, or past experiences — not by truth or possibility. We jump to conclusions, assume the worst, or label something as “negative” before we’ve paused long enough to see it clearly. What if that moment we’re resisting is actually working for us?What if the thing we react to first ends up being a benefit, not a setback? This conversation is an invitation to slow the space between reaction and response, to question our initial assumptions, and to consider how a shift in perspective can completely change the outcome. Less reacting.More thinking.And a whole lot more peace in between.

A new year doesn’t have to mean new rules, new pressure, or a brand-new version of yourself. Sometimes, it simply means new thoughts. In this episode, we kick off the year by talking about the power of keeping an open mind — expanding our consciousness, questioning what we think we know, and learning to see both sides of an argument. Not to win. Not to prove a point. But to grow. As we move into this new year, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen more deeply, and loosen our grip on rigid beliefs that may no longer serve us. Because real growth doesn’t come from certainty — it comes from curiosity. Here’s to a new year, new perspectives, and the courage to think a little differently.

Do you ever question whether life just happens or is their a bigger plan? Did we call things in before we even arrived or even while we have been here? Is it part of our journey?

Thanks for tuning is as I get my feet back in the game! Looking forward to sharing some great topics over the following months. Also, checkout the new BLOG at Livingwellwithshell.com

Change is inevitable and often a really good thing. However navigating it can be an issue

We all have hard wired thoughts and beliefs....are they serving you or hindering you? Let's find the Divine in all of us.

Sometimes it's hard to see the light when the world and all it's issues are all over our devices and TV's. However, perspective is everything.

In order to grow we have to change. All Beliefs need to be challenged

The Akashic Records are believed to be the repository of every thought, word, and deed of every living being, good, bad, and awful, in all times; past, present, future. It’s a compendium of knowledge of all life forms and entities. But those familiar with the records report that there is no judgment or implied penalty in the records — they are said to simply be a record of each soul’s journey through the infinite.

As we enter this New Year, let us look and see what is holding us back from moving forward with JOY!

Never be afraid to share your experience, your knowledge and live your truth. If someone asks.....answer!

We often think that how we are 'feeling' is the only thing that matters in the moment......let's take a look at how that can affect our decisions and future.

Human Beings are still growing, changing and finding our way.

Do you struggle with organizing paper and digital information? Then you need to hear what Frank has to say. "Replace one thing with a better thing".

I thought I'd visit the basics this week......let's chat.

Sometimes you need to step back to see the overhead view and not get lost in the details.

When things go sideways....you have to dust yourself off and get right back up on that horse!

You never know when you are going to meet someone amazing.....do you leave your house expecting the best from people?

What if we ALL matter? What if we break generational curses of division and hatred to bring more light and acceptance into the World?

If you are feeling like you can't find your place, perhaps it's because your place is changing.

Is your life is always GO GO GO and feeling like an uphill battle? "See how balance occurs natually when we trust our heart. See how much easier life can be when we live it from the heart." Melody Beattie

Are you one to let emotions get the upper hand when things don't go the way you want. Do you revert to anger and blame instead of accepting and looking for solutions?

When things in life are unsure....it can be very hard to trust. To trust in people, the process, the learning....whatever it might be for you. However, without trust there can't be flow.

I no longer force things, what flows, flows, what crashes, crashes. I only have space and energy for things that are meant for me.

Do you allow the Universe to flow to you and thru you?

It's real but you still need to understand and give yourself the best tools possible to get thru the bad times.

Sometimes we have to go look for it as it doesn't always just show up on it's own!

There is a lot we cannot control in our lives.....but there is a lot we can choose to accept and choose to change.

How often in situations do you focus on the negative? Do you surround yourself with too much negativity? Changing our focus can change our life......let's chat about that shall we?

It's so very easy to step into Judgement...however when we are in that space, we can't question what is going on around us. In Judgement we are stuck in a point of view.....and questioning is how we remove ourselves from that limitation.

Some times we have to learn to let go....people, ideas and yes.....even dreams. If they are dead and holding us back....it's time to thank them for the contribution to your life and move on. Get new DREAMS!

Do you struggle with guilt around 'things' in your life.....not able to let go when you have no need for items and then have no peace in your life or your personal space.

https://dreamlifemasters.com/gunther-mueller The Personal Development World Is Broken... it is focused on fixing. The truth is there is nothing to fix. You must just let go of the past, and simply focus your whole being on what you want... just because you want it.

In today's world it can be hard to distinguish fact from fiction. But if you are open and can stay in the question answers will come.
