The Fourth Regret: Fear of Risk and Diminishment

In this episode of The Five Regrets to Avoid in Life, Doug Holladay and Jamie Haith delve into the quiet fear that keeps many of us stuck: the fear of change, of stepping into the unknown, and of losing the identity we've worked so hard to build. Doug shares powerful stories of leaders who, despite their success, hesitated to pivot—to leave, to begin again, or to grow in a new direction—because they feared what might be lost.

Together, they explore the internal tension between stability and transformation, and why clinging to comfort can become its own kind of trap. Doug offers a reframing: What if the greatest risks in life aren’t about failure, but about the risk of never becoming who you were meant to be?

This episode is an invitation to embrace evolution, welcome reinvention, and move toward change that may not always make sense on paper, but speaks deeply to the soul.
