On Regret

Regret. It’s a feeling we all know—whether it’s a choice we made, an opportunity we missed, or something we wish we had done differently. But instead of seeing regret as a burden, what if we viewed it as a sign of our values, growth, and potential?

In this episode of Mind Bites, I sit down with emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin to explore regret from a fresh perspective. We dive into why regret can hold us back, how it impacts our emotions and decision-making, and, most importantly, how we can use it as a tool for personal growth.

Join us as we uncover practical ways to free yourself from the “snowball of regret,” shift your perspective, and take action—whether that means making amends, embracing vulnerability, or transforming regret into motivation. As Mike reminds us, it’s never too late to shed regret and move forward with confidence.

After a decade and a half of regular dialogue in a local café, I, Renee Beale, ex-scientist turned producer and coach, decided to transform coffee with emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin into this podcast, to share his unique perspective on the mind and how we can use our curiosity and creativity to gain control and rediscover peace – that’s been so helpful in my own life. If you found this episode insightful, we’d love it if you could share it with others. After all minds can bite and these bite-sized conversations offer remedies.
