Let's Relieve Regret: Honest conversations for women who are tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism and carrying emotional baggage.

For the woman who's tired of carrying it all.

Join Shadoe Ball and Victoria Muir-Burcea for honest conversations about letting go of guilt, regret, overwhelm, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the impossible expectations many women place on themselves.

Each episode explores the thoughts, habits, and stories that keep us stuck while sharing practical insights, personal experiences, and plenty of laughter along the way. Together, we'll talk about self-worth, confidence, emotional wellness, stress, burnout, anxiety, relationships, personal growth, and navigating the challenges of midlife with greater self-compassion.

If you've ever felt responsible for everyone else's happiness, struggled to quiet your inner critic, battled overthinking, or wondered how to stop second-guessing yourself and start living more fully, you're in the right place.

Whether you're looking for inspiration, personal development, mental wellness strategies, or simply reassurance that you're not alone, this podcast offers a welcoming space to reflect, learn, laugh, heal, and grow.

This is your invitation to put down what no longer serves you and make room for more joy, connection, confidence, freedom, and purpose.

Because the things we carry shape our lives but so does what we're willing to let go.

In this episode, we start with the Joy of Mini-Weiner dogs!!

We also discuss that great feeling of not needing to minimize the things that bring us joy. (eg. Victoria is a Proud Health Nerd and loves her new temu products!)

To skip the check-in and just listen to the regrets, skip to 11:47

Victoria opens up about how she is feeling regarding a keloid scar she has from abdominal surgery two years ago. Interestingly enough; the shame she has about the scar is very similar to the shame she felt about needing the surgery in the first place. She recognizes that there is a pattern to it - advocating for herself a lot and then pulling away in hopes to not bother anyone.

Check out s1, E6: COWORKERS for more about Victoria's Fibroid surgery.

During the feedback session, Shadoe and Victoria talk about the pressure of being a "Good Patient" and not advocating for yourself. It is so much easier to advocate on the behalf of others!

Shadoe then shares Part 3 of her regret "not accepting help for things she should know how to do".
Part 1 was her job title;
Part 2 was keeping a tidy home; and, today,
Part 3 is: sticking to a fitness routine.

Regular listeners may remember the BEING NICER TO MYSELF episode from season 2 when Shadoe shared that she regrets using exercise as a punishment. It turns out, that this motivation is still really difficult to 'get over', and, keeps her fearful.

As always, we end our episode with three soothing breaths to let go!
