The life decision you regret – Never find true love again – Do you value yourself
April 1, 2018

In this episode, I talk about that one decision you regret not having made that could have changed your entire life for the better… or would it have been worse?

In segment two, what do you do when you lose the love of your life and realize you will never be happy again? Can you recover from losing “the one”?

In segment three, what filters do you wear that show you a world that isn’t really there? Are those filters serving you?
