S1 E 16: Facing Regret in Midlife: Turning “What Ifs” Into Wisdom
Midlife regret is heavy. It’s the quiet weight of what ifs—the dreams we pushed aside, the choices we can’t undo. Left in silence, they don’t disappear. They grow louder.
In this episode of Unboxed, Unburdened, Unstoppable, Michelle shares how her own regret—walking away from a rising news career—once kept her feeling small and stuck, until she learned to unbox it. She shows how regret can become a guide, pointing us back to what we value most, and how to take one small step today toward reclaiming your power.
If regret has been whispering to you in midlife, this conversation will remind you: regret doesn’t get the final word. You do.
What You’ll Learn:
✨ Why regrets echo more loudly in midlife
✨ How naming them helps loosen their grip
✨ Two questions to turn regret into guidance
✨ Why healing begins within
