Today on the show, we talk about autonomy and what it really means to be free in a world where our locus of control is actually quite limited.

We talk about emotional freedom, about shoulds and have-tos, and how our minds can keep us trapped in feelings and behaviors that shrink our experience of life and don’t bring out the best in us. As always, Homaira will guide you through a reflective process to approach life from a sense of abundance, joy and creativity, rather than lack or inadequacy.

Today on the show, we dive into the emotional experience of rejection—why it hurts, how it affects us, and what we can do to navigate it in a way that strengthens rather than diminishes us.

As always, Homaira will guide you through a reflective process to meet yourself with compassion and explore what the right action looks like for you, whether it’s forgiving, confronting, or letting go.

We’re a relational species. We find joy and fulfillment in being there for others. But we can also be judgmental, mean or weak when we could’ve been kinder or more helpful. We’re imperfect after all—and sometimes others don’t make it easy either for us to be who we want to be.

And so, we will all carry regrets ion our relationships. In fact, if we don’t, we likely never engaged fully with the people in our lives.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why interpersonal regret is normal
• How repair brings us closer
• The two forms that repair can take

Listen to find not only the peace you seek, but also actionable steps you can take to learn from the regret and start living in alignment with who you want to be.

Regret is a topic that’s showing up more and more in our conversations. Perhaps what we’ve lived through these past few years has reminded us not only of the shortness of life, but also that many (or most) of our pursuits haven’t even been aligned with what we want.

And with that comes the regret of our unlived lives.

In this episode, I divide the regret into 3 types, and offer a different way to work through each of them. Specific things I talk about:

• Regrets about conscious decisions we made
• Regrets about things we avoided out of fear
• Regrets about the unstoppable passage of time

You’ll find practical and actionable ways to reclaim not only the life you’ve lived, but also the life that lies ahead of you.
