Send us a Text Message.I’ve often heard people say, “I don’t have regrets.” I’m pretty certain I’ve said that myself many times. It’s almost like there is an undercurrent in our current culture that says regret is bad and shameful. But what if regret is helpful.

It's become a hot topic in the personal development world. As people become more open to the woo (the more mysterious parts of life), manifestation has become a technique in and of itself.

So, speaking our truth - is it helpful, hurtful, or healing? Let's talk about that. Read the s...

Send us a Text Message.I often want to bypass the hard emotions in favor of the good ones like peace, joy, contentment. While there are fast hacks to get me from a place of disappointment to elation, those hacks don't create lasting self-evolution or teach me how to process emotion in helpful ways. If you want to feel different emotions, you have to start by acknowledging where you are emotionally and move forward from there. Let's talk about that!Read the show notes: https://gentrylusby.com/...
