Have you ever made a choice that felt right in the moment, only to realise it was the decision from hell?
That was me recently.
I flew to Amsterdam, dropped $2,000 on a Mindvalley ticket, and instantly started regretting it.
Instead of enjoying the experience, I found myself frustrated that I’d wasted the money and beating myself up for not making the most of it.
But then something shifted.
I was able to reframe the whole trip and turn what felt like a mistake into something valuable.
In this episode, I break down how you can do the same, so you can transform bad decisions into powerful lessons.
You’ll learn how to make choices that align with your values, so no matter what the outcome looks like, it doesn’t have to come with a side of regret.
Covered in this episode:
- How intuition can turn regret into value.
- The key to making aligned decisions you won’t regret.
- Turning sunk costs into valuable experiences.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
