Choose no regret

Trista Guertin
About this episode

Do you ever find yourself stuck in indecision, afraid to make the “wrong” choice because you don’t want to regret it later?

Or maybe you spend too much time replaying past decisions, wishing you’d chosen differently.

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, I’m talking about regret—what it really is, why it keeps you stuck, and how to live without it.

Regret doesn’t come from your decisions.

It comes from the thoughts you have after those decisions.

And the good news is—you can learn to let regret go and start building unshakable self-trust instead.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why indulging in regret robs you of your present and your future.
  • How regret fuels avoidance and destroys self-trust.
  • The mindset shift that allows you to stop second-guessing yourself.
  • A simple way to reframe every decision so you never waste time in regret again.
  • Practical steps to build confidence in your decision-making and have your own back.

Key Takeaways:

  • There is no such thing as a “wrong” decision—only the meaning you give it.
  • Regret is an indulgent emotion that keeps you stuck in the past.
  • You can commit to never regretting your choices and focus on creating the best outcome no matter what.
  • Building a better relationship with yourself means learning to trust your decisions and stop second-guessing.

Action Steps for Listeners:

  1. Before making your next decision—big or small—say out loud: “I commit to not regretting this.”
  2. Notice regret when it shows up, and remind yourself: “This is optional. I don’t have to go there.”
  3. Journal one way you can make your last decision great, no matter what it was.
